No worries... you look great. But you need to post us a pleat shot or two of that fantastic kilt!

Thanks again to Ern for his amazing thread of pics from his trip and hey, while you're on a roll, why stop? Just keep on kilting!

Your Robertson cousin could use a kilt too. Kilts sure beat the look of high waisted pants...just my opinion folks...

I was talking about the kilt, but of course one day I'd love to see both of you in person as well.

Still, you and Lady Catherine are welcome anytime !

Okay, guys so Friday I wore my kaki Buzz Kidder as I would be doing double duty and working that evening at Walmart. So, I wore my required navy blue shirt and kaki KILT!

At my day job as I was finishing the topping up of the swimming pool, one of the ladies out for water aerobics said,"I just love your kilt and those red thingies." With a laugh, I said they were flashes, which got a few chuckles from the other ladies.



Later, the fellow in the earler post returned and found me kilted, again. He was pleased. I suggested he obtain himself a Robertson red Kilt. He commented he would think about that one. He said he was coming back on Monday, so I'll wear my Robbie Red then.

As I clocked in at Walmart and made my way to my department through the back room, I saw one of the Asst. Managers, Dewey giving me the once over. He started towards me. Now Dewy runs the receiving Department and supervisors the unloaders that removes the goods from the trucks and takes the pallets to the floors. A tough job. Dewey is a en-military type and a past sherriff of a town in western Virginia. You get the picture? I brace myself for a ''dressing down".

Dewey asks, Is there a Highland Game, today? No, I said I'm just back from Scotland. He reaches out and shakes my hand!

Later in the shift, he and his wife show up in my department (he is on his meal break) and the wife says 'Your right, I can't believe it.' Dewey responds he is dressed in the Walmart uniform colors and there is nothing we can do'. The tone of their voices are affirming and they have large smiles. They tell me about their plans to go to Ireland in the future.

Later my Scottish friend, George shows up to ring up some purchase and is atonished to see me kilted at Walmart. I tell him about my Scotland trip. We make plans to see one another at the Virginia Highland Games.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, today I did wear to work my Robbie Red, a USA Kilt 5 Yarder, to show the tartan to Mac, my new found Robertson kin .



Mac was a little more open to the thought of getting one. I can tell he really liked the kilt.

So, did a bonnie lass in line with me at the post office who was giving me an aprroving gaze with a big smile.

It was a hectic Monday with a mass mailing to the members of an upcoming membership meeting. I celebrated the end of it with a visit to the Fredericksburg Pub for a pint or two.
