    The Two People Jones Saga

    Back around April 30th, I contacted Rocky to order a kilt and a few accessories in the MacPherson tartan. This is to be a gift for the gentleman who has the patience to be my piping instructor. Thursday the box arrived from Phoenixville and is sitting unopened as I now have to await the next piping lesson. The young gent's girlfriend is in on this, and will be opening the package to put the kilt on him along with the whole rest of the kit. We are both jonesing to see the results. I know that the work will be perfect.
    This will be the gents first kilt of his own. He has a kilt that belongs to the Pipe Band that he plays in, and has never had one of his own. His lass has wanted him in one a lot more often than he wears it, so it was easy to get her to go along with the surprise.
    It will be a very interesting evening.... more to follow
