St. Andrew's Day 2018

Today's weather kept me from unfurling the St. Andrew's Cross - the flag of Scotland - at our home  to honor both the country and it's patron saint. There was no feasting or dancing for us but we did enjoy laughing over a last-minute invitation to attend a ceilidh in Stornoway, the capital of Lewis and Harris in Scotland. Perhaps next year. The occasion also brought to mind the many years we attended the Stone Mountain Highland Games just east of Atlanta. And there was our Clan Robertson and Clan Donnachaidh membership - thanks to my wife's ancestry - where we enjoyed the feasting and friendship well into the evening following the last day of the games.

To our would-be host, Calum, we lift a glass in both thanks for the invitation and hope that his St. Andrew's Day celebration exceed all expectations.
