A day with Rabbie!

**Mael Coluim** · 25th January 11, 09:46 PM

Earlier here, JSFMACLJR posted Burns prints he had for sale. I ordered two. One to keep and one to donate to the upcoming Fredericksburg Scottish Society Burns Supper raffle. I was really pleased with the framing done at local Michaels. It is absolutely stunning. Thank you, Sandy for offering these to us.

Rabbie went with me to work and was a big hit with the residents of the community I manage. One of them brought her camera to take pix of us. I listened to kinsman, Jim Malcolm’s songs of Robert Burns all day.

After work, Sir William met us at the British Pub for dinner and few rounds to toast Rabbie on his birthday.

An unknown patron sent Rabbie a Bellhaven Scottish Ale. Shannon presents the thoughtful gesture.

Bill & I order a round of flights of different single malts to toast Rabbie.

Our server, Jen assists us in the official toast to the Baird.

Rabbie produced much interest with the other patrons. Several came by to our table to meet Mr. Burns. We invited them to his supper coming up this weekend. It was a wonderful day with Rabbie. I am glad Sir William could share it with us.

Great photos! The framed Burns is outstanding, and that, gentlemen, is how to wear a bowtie!

Thanks for posting the Pictures Ern. I also have a print from Sandy and agree that it looks terrific framed up.

A lady at the local craft shop on our army post did the framing for me. She and I picked out a blue matting that picked out the color of his coat.

I'm loaning mine to a Burns Night supper on Friday. Its kind of a special deal that I'll write more about after the fact.

Hope you enjoy your upcoming evening.

You really look sharp!
