All in two hours!
My gated community of 1,213 homesites was bustling yesterday as everyone was out enjoying the 72 degree weather on Thanksgiving day. I decided to take my cocker spaniel, Austin, for a long walk before leaving to have dinner with friends. We walked for about 2 hours, stopping to talk to people I knew and did not know. I was wearing my Gordon tartan, cream hose, flashes, brogues, belt, daywear sporran and a black, long sleeve shirt. In that 2 hour period, I managed to hear every conceivable comment or compliment regarding my kilt. Poor Austin was practically ignored! They said things like:
"What's the occasion?"
"Is there a ceremony?"
"What's under there?", and, "Are you naked under there?"
"What's your tartan?"
"Are you Scottish(sic)?"
"That's quite an outfit"
"Where's your bagpipes?"
"Are you going somewhere special?"
"I've been to Scotland"
"Got the outfit on again, eh?"
"Look at those legs!"
There were multiples of each and some I can't remember, but you get the idea. I literally disrupted a foursome teeing off on the golfcourse as I walked by.....one of the women yelled out "Nice kilt" as her husband was addressing the ball. It was an interesting experiment and I'm happy to report not one negative comment. I hope you all had as much fun on Thanksgiving as I did.
Cheers!
