    Kilted on Facebook Brings A Surprise Gift

    So I figured out Facebook a while back. Its a good connect for friends and family.

    Last month a friend of an old ladyfriend noticed me and asked after me. Curious about kilts of course.

    We exchanged emails, phone calls, then met at a neutral city to hike and have dinner.

    This weekend she drove over from Las Vegas and spent four days exploring the canyonlands with me. We had a most wonderful time.

    She's 52, I'm 66.

    Just ain't no need for a man to be single and lonely. All ya gotta do is kilt up!

    Sounds like a young ladyfriend to me.


    Congratulations. Was she the photographer for your pics in the other threads?

    Aye, the lass shot the pics for me. Left the tripod in the car. She has some on her camera too but expect they're duplicates. We were handing cameras back and forth taking pictures of each other.
