- The sanctuary of my church last Saturday morning, after we hung tartans in preparation for our annual
Kirking of the Tartans service on Sunday. Tartan carriers would carry those tartans on the left and right in a solemn procession up the aisle on Sunday morning, accompanied by a piper playing
Highland Cathedral. That's the piper above (click to enlarge) and his proud parents, both recording his practice on their phones.
- How could I not show you the glorious dish of fried lobster I had on Saturday night at my
favorite Thai restaurant? I've always wanted to try this, but wasn't expecting the lobster shell to be on top. :) I almost took it home!
- I'm ignoring that today is Friday the 13th and wishing you a happy day tomorrow with these camellias from my sister's garden.
Happy Valentines Day, y'all!
And hope you have a happy weekend, too!

Nothing more appealing than proud parents! Beautiful looking church.
Happy Valentines day to you too, and have a great weekend!
Oh my goodness, all three photos are perfectly beautiful in their own way!
The tartans display is really striking. I have a feeling it's one of those solemn, historic rituals that would bring tears to my eyes if I were to witness it.
Happy Valentine's Day to you!

happy valentine's day weekend!
big hugs~xoxo

That lobster looks divine!
I have never heard of that tartan Sunday. Interesting. Lobster is the best! I am more interested in the bowl your flowers are in than the flowers. It looks like a vintage bowl or is it a modern copy.
Yes, what a gorgeous church!
And YESSSS on that meal, wow. I be it was amazing.
What a beautiful kitchen she has, I hope to have that kind of granite when we re-do our kitchen.

Beautiful--we have a tartan kirkin' coming up this weekend.
Joe -
I think so, too. I hope you had a happy Valentines Day.
Leonora -
Thank you! The men in the choir said they choked up when everyone came down the aisle. I was the "Beadle" - the bearer of the large church bible.
Betty -
It was pretty darn good.
Ellis -
I always love my poem from you, Ellis! Hope you are well.
Mama Zen -
It was pretty divine.
Granny Annie -
This photo was taken at my sister's house in December, so it's her vase, but would have belonged to her late mother-in-law before. I suspect it would be vintage - Grace always had such nice things.
Jannie -
She does have a nice kitchen - I love to cook with her in there.

You do? That's awesome and hope you post about it.
One piper piping! I love it. Guess what song I have in my head now?
We are in such a deep freeze in Toronto at the moment that it's difficult to imagine live flowers in anyone's backyard. They are beautiful! Thanks for the reminder that the sun is still warm somewhere in the world.
While waiting for the proceedings to begin and the other guests to arrive to the church at the wedding I attended on Saturday last, I had quite a lengthy chat with the organist. She was a lovely woman. :)
Pretty church scene there! Bet it sounded great too.
I don't have any lobster shells around, due to food allergy. Thai must be tasty-
Gorgeous flowers! I got a sale African Violet today- Most of the old ones didn't make another year this round.
