In time for Christmas - just 

The Saga of the Filibeg Christmas 2001

Maxine,
All is well that ends well. Kilt is here and wrapped. Christmas is a little late at our house--not because of the kilt--because of social, school and work commitments by varies members of the family. The earliest we can get together is Thursday. We still were not certain that the kilt would get here in time so.......Thought you might enjoy our back up plan.

The Saga of the Filibeg
Christmas 2001

Three months before Christmas
It flashed through the land
That Brenda would like
To join the pipe band

Her chanter was polished
Her bagpipes tuned up
The tartan was chosen
But what ? No tin cup ?

To play in a pipe band
One must wear a kilt
When ones name is Wilson
That cloth must be built

Brenda wants to thank you. The attachment is a picture of Brenda and her father--our son Scott in Kilts from house-of- tarten.
Have a healthy and prosperous New Year.
