    You never know who you'll find kilted

    It had been a long day, at my second job at Wally World and I was headed home tonight. As I walked out the front door Chris, one of the fellows who is part of the cleaning crew called me over. He wanted to show me some photos of sisters' wedding. Boy, I juist wanted to go home, but I sucked it up.

    My gosh, the groom and his groomsman were kilted! So was Chris who was part of the group. Gosh he looked grand. He told me who was in each picture. His new brother-in-law has Irish and Scottish ancestry. It made my evening to see them. One of the things, I observed the kilted wedding party acutually highlight the loveliness of the bride.

    I was able to share with Chris about the kilt and the tartan he was weaing, Black Watch. Gosh you never know!

    The kilt is not limited to the Gentry. And the Scot diaspora are known to be an industrious lot. No job too big or too small. A Scot can do 'em all.
