After church we went to the Highland Games in Scotland. seriously! Well Scotland CT anyway! 
I hobbled along with my hiking pole to give me a little stability and sat when I could. I iced the ankle when we got home and it seems to be no worse for having gone. Maybe I'm mending a bit? We had fun walking around talking to people, watching our friend KC get an impromptu lesson on her bag pipes which she had with her. We watched the dancers and listened to the pipes and drums. I admired the kilts and other tartan items. I own a Clan Grant scarf and would love love love to own a long skirt someday. DS held up a Clan Campbell boy's kilt that would have been adorable but he would have nowhere to wear it and at $65.... well, just, no, that wasn't happening! I got a picture of him trying on a Black Watch cap. Didn't make him look any more Scottish though! Oh well! It was hot hot hot and the yellow jackets were out in huge numbers. DS got stung on the back of his calf. We had to sign our lives away just to get him an ice pack. The fire dept. had to cover themselves because we refused to have him taken to the hospital. He's not allergic and has been stung before. But we had to sign so they weren't liable. We are home tomorrow too for Columbus Day. Aaaah! Love it!
