    Very nice piecture. Enjoy your grandmother. My grandmother Kennedy practically raised me up until the time I was 3. She lived to be 100, and although it has been many years now since her passing, I think of her often.

    It looks like your kilt is the Stillwater Nightstalker. The grey pullover goes well with it. I just purchased some grey kilt hose to go with mine.

    Hey Iolaus, nice pic! Your Dad looks more standoffish than your Grandma, but that is probably because he is behind the table.

    What kilt is that? Looks like it could be a SWK Nightstalker, but can't tell on my monitor.

    Grandma looks really happy. But the guy behind the table looks like he wasn't expecting a photo to be taken.

    Hey, a kilt and a quilt!

    Nice pic. Kind of a different interior decorating choice for a brewpub though.

    That's the best casual kilt look, IMO - the kilt and sporran with a pullover.

    Excellent family pic!

    However...am I the only one who had horrible thoughts when first reading your post's heading? For a second I thought your grandma had done something wrong and you'd tossed her out of the house!

    Thanks, all. Yeah, it's a SWK Nightstalker with a Freelander Sporran.

    My dad looks that way quite often, it's just his "smiling attentive" look. We had just gotten up from the table and my mom decided to snap a couple of pics, so we weren't exactly "posed."

    Grandma's having a great time for 80-something. She had cancelled a trip that I was going to see her off on (a cruise out of L.A.) for health reasons (bad hip) and I went up to vist instead (in case my folks weren't telling me everything). After visiting with her, I think she's got years of life in her, she's just not as mobile as she used to be.

    All in all, it was a great visit.

    As for the decor... it's a brew-pub/pizza joint in Grant's Pass Or.; not exactly a one stop-light town, but, in some ways, kind of a "60's hippies grow old in Small Town, USA" kind of place.

    I wish that I had any of my grandparents left to appreciate my kilt-wearing. I'm sure that my grandfather and grandmother on my mother's side would have loved me in a kilt.

    Hear hear!
    My paternal grandfather (the Irish one) passed away when my father was a teenager, long before I came along. My other grandparents have all be gone for over 10 years.

    You're a lucky man, Iolaus. Spend as much time with your grandma as you can.

    I wish I'd gotten into kilts a few years earlier. Her husband, my mother's step-father was the one bit of Scot heritage that I can claim; he was a McKillop. He was the only grandfather I ever knew. I'm sure he would've been thrilled to see me embracing a part of his heritage (his sgian dubh still sits on her entryway table). Sadly, he died about five years ago.

    Your dad would look right at home in a kilt. Maybe his expression would change too.
