It's so nice you have this connection to your past, present and future. <br /><br />As always, I loved the pictures and the stories you shared in this post, like about the father and son. <br /><br />Lynn...one of the things I admire about you is that you take the time to learn people's stories. You get to know them,even if they're strangers. That's a gift:~)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995684156785464334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-17936230025162818662014-10-23T07:51:06.504-04:002014-10-23T07:51:06.504-04:00What a great event!!What a great event!!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133232352924060797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-33131071740793245022014-10-22T07:20:16.829-04:002014-10-22T07:20:16.829-04:00Do any of the women wear the tartan kilts?
