Yes, today is Tartan day, if you hadn't guessed!
It was an interesting event to photograph.:-)
Hope you will celebrate the wearin' o' your tartan and be celebrrrrratin' with pride!
I had nothing plaid or any tartan to wear so I ended up throwing Andrea's tartan tablecloth around my shoulders tying it with an elastic band!
I'm such a Celtic failure.......m' dear Irish grandmother will be lookin' down at me n' shakin' her lovely Irish head!!
And I shall leave you with this thought.....There's more to a kilt than what's under it!

Oh, so my blog did publish. I can't get on today's day from my computer.

I fear there's trouble in blogdom!

Oh, and thanks Dixie. Tablecloths are my best feature.
