Photo Hunters Theme: Original

The assignment was to make a picture that illustrated a good rule for taking care of your library book. Among the pictures illustrating keep the book away from the dog and make sure your hands are clean was this one:
I took this photo at a Scottish Heritage festival in Spokane, Washington a couple of years ago. I ran across it this week while looking for some other pictures. I thought that this rather original kilt displayed a mixed heritage--or maybe a Pacific Islander Scottish wannabe?

    Now that to me just plain look like a skirt, not to mention it doesn't match. Wow, look at me, who appointed me fashion patrol. Very original pictures. I love the rollercoaster book ride one.

    LOL--The traditional pleats of a tartan kilt just don't hold in the Hawaiian fabric, so yes, it does rather look like a skirt.

    Being Scottish, I can appreciate the second one. I want one. Very funny. I can think of lots of other places not to take library books. Oh and by the way where are those lost ones.

    Where are the lost or missing library books?
    They are:
    *on the counter at home
    *in Dad's (Mom's) car
    *in my desk upstairs
    *"but I turned them in already!"
    *"I gave them to *"
    *under the bed
    *at Grandma's house in Mexico (really happened)
    *in my grandpa's RV which has been put in storage for the winter (really happened)
    *"I cleaned out the bookshelf and sent a bunch of stuff to St. Vinnie's---oh-oh."
    *"But really, the dog didn't get near my backpack after he got skunked!" (really happened)
    *"You were right. Dogs don't like dog training books." (really happened)
    "Someone stole my backpack." (really happened---why do I keep saying really happened? Every one of these is something that really happened.)
    *"Book? What book?"

    Whenever I take my library books to Silverwood, I always have one of the kids hold my library books before I get on the roller coaster, but the reminder is a good one. You know, just in case....
