    Due to a serious family situation that has to be handled I am unable to be there this year. I do hope all who are there have a Grand time, and make the trip home safely.

    My best regards go out to one and all.

    Just got back from GMHG. Boy, was it ever HOT! I broke out the wool IOS on Saturday morning, which was nice and cool due to evening rainshowers, but by mid-day it was back to scorcher status again, and on went the poly-cotton hiking kilt.

    Sorry, I didn't take any photos at all.

    Sorry to read that you had a serious family situation, I hope you were able to take care of it successfully. I missed seeing you on the mountain, it was my first time there. I had a great time marching with 16 other members of my family clan in the Parade of Tartans on Sunday. One was a little girl who just turned 2 years old. She had tartan wrapped around her as she marched all around the track holding the handle of a sword while her daddy held the blade up in the air.

    After riding the shuttle bus down to my car, I found my keys
    hanging in the ignition locked inside and I got that sinking feeling knowing that my spare key was in my coin purse about 150 miles away in Pigeon Forge TN. I hadn't taken it along since my sporran and belt side pouch were already filled. In the morning I had jumped out of my car and grabbed my sporran and carrybag backpack and put them on rushing to get the bus. So I didn't know my keys were locked in till I got back to my car.

    One of the workers with the shuttle bus got my door open in a couple of minutes to save my day. That was my only glitch of the day.
