MacArthur!!!!!!

Well...sorry about the wait...but...here it is - my MacArthur Modern from Burnetts and Struth in Canada. It is 16 oz REAL WOOL FROM SCOTLAND (never thought I'd have one of these beauties!).
You'll recall the story...Burnetts and Struth had an amazing sale on selected tartans, including the MacArthur Modern. SO, after deciding that this opportunity would probably never present itself again, I became a nun on a mission (well, other than the usual mission I'm on!)...I had to come up with a way to honor my MacArthur ancestors by acquiring a kilt in this tartan. I sold a classical guitar, an electric guitar and amp, a marching band bass drum, and I actually can't remember at this point if I sold any other instruments or not.
SO, HERE IT IS...the moment we've all been waiting for...drum roll, please...The MacArthur(!!!):

AND, my apologies for not wearing it in the photos...we share everything in the convent, including nasty cold germs, so we are all under the weather at the moment (and yikes...I have a job interview on Wednesday!).

OH, and please excuse my messy desk in the background...I've been busily working on my paper "An Ecclesiological and Anthropological Examination of Women's Apostolic Religious Congregations in the United States, Before and After the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council"...it takes so blasted long just to say the title...I haven't had time to clean my desk!!
