Well of course I'm proud of both my DGC EVERY day, but this
is a special day: DGD danced five dances at the Portland
Highland Games today, placed first in three(Scottish Lilt,
Highland Fling and Seann Triubhas), second in one (Sword
Dance), and was disqualified in the fifth (not her fault the
other dancer in her four-person Highland Reel stumbled and
threw DGD off). DGD was awarded the Aggregate Prize (Best
dancer overall) in her age/category. :-)

AND (to stay on subject for this group), she is looking
forward to coming here for a few days in August to make her
costume (under my supervision) for the new dance she is
learning, the Highland Jig. It will be green, with flashes
of red showing at the hem and waist. I stopped at the
Fabric Depot on the way home and bought 5 yards of medium
green poplin, thread, 3 serger cones and a hidden zipper
(40% off all fabric 30% off everything else!). I have the
pattern created in Pattern Master "Celebrations", so now all
I have to do is clear the sewing room.

Beverly, thrilled the temperature didn't go over 85° this
year!

Give DGD a big congratulatory hug from me!! She is a real Scottish dancer.
As the old saying goes, "She did her DGM proud. "
Making the dress together should be great fun for the both of you.
