Kilted at the Beach
My brother just forwarded me this pic our cousin took. When the gathered kin went down to the beach at Oceanside, California to watch my brother take my mother's ashes out to sea on his surfboard I took care of another chore.
Going through my mother's things I'd discovered (gasp) my father's old dental bridge. He's been dead since 1978 and his ashes were scattered at sea in the Pacific too. Didn't wanna throw the bridge away and didn't wanna keep it.
So, with consent of my siblings, I heaved it out to sea at low tide so it could be with his ashes. Probably violated some environmental law...
My cousin snapped this pic as I was walking back up the beach. Not the best lighting, but the only kilted at the beach pic I have.
Kilt is the Scott modern red by Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts that I wore in honor of my mother that day. Her maternal clan is Scott.
