    The last time I saw Molly Kate was at the Salado Highland Games 10 months ago and my has she grown, and still cute!!

    The first pic is a home-schooled pipe and drum band from near San Antonio. The pipe "major" is Evan Holman, a 3-year piper who has soared in technique. He has an unique A birl that is to be seen. But, the middle boy is good at keeping his fingers close to the chanter. He'll be a lightning piper if he keeps playing.

    Both Shaun and I are coicidentally wearing Oconee Leather belts and buckles!

    Thanks for the pics, Shaun!

    Molly Kate is indeed a dear. She was very sweet and gentle with our young'uns. Fergus being the regal Scottie he is just had to give a kiss to the cute redhead. It was too bad I didn't know you were an Xmarker.
