Yet More Tartan
I promise to tone down the tartan/scot-o-rama element of this blog soon, but here is a picture of Ailsa exiting the stage at a school event last Saturday night. It was a Scottish Homecoming/International evening, with food, songs, dances, dragons, henna and face painting, national costumes, all sorts of merriment. Ailsa did a wee highland dance routine. And her beautiful tartan kilt and waistcoat were handsewn by her Oma about 32 years ago.
Here's a shot of the henna hand.

I was going to comment on your pushiness as parents, but I know what Ailsa is like!!! She's probably been practicing for weeks!! Go go Ailsa!!!
a) that Canadian flag also looks like it was handmade a long time ago, but not by Oma!
b) homecoming? Isn't that very American or did you mean it to be?
c) Will Ailsa do her routine for us when she comes? Without the kilt, I guess?
d) John, did you ever imagine you'd marry a non-Scot who had a kilt she could pass down to her girls??!! There's not a ton of chance of that. That's pretty cool, don't ya think?
Answers:
a)probably made by a pupil or a teacher in a hurry.
b)Scotland is organising an Official Year of Homecoming 2009
c) yes
d) "I never imagined who I'd marry...apart from Sophia Loren"
A)Way to go Ailsa!
B)What did they use for the henna hands?
C)What did the teddy bear say when he was offered dessert?

I thought I would use Bethannes style of comment and get a few questions answered....the last 2 are for Ailsa, Heather and Claire...let me know if you can figure out the answers...
E) Sophia Loren?? Really?
At least some bronzed buxom mediterranean
Tracey-we can't get the answers to the riddles!
Hmmm......I've put a lot of thought into this now.
No thanks, I'm stuffed.
