Saturday Snapshot -- Bagpipes and Defiant Cats

West Metro Mommy Reads

I wish I could take a picture that did justice to the fuschia plant hanging on my back porch as I look out the back door. The red buds hanging down are reflected in the shiny black granite countertop in my kitchen.
But, instead, I'll post a picture from a graduation party last night.
Some parents in our little town are wealthy, and they don't spare expense at a graduation party. Last  night's party had a food truck that served tacos and an open bar. I drank two gin and tonics! But the real surprise came when the bagpipers marched in.
I always think of bagpipers as Scottish, but these guys wore solid green kilts so I guess they were Irish to fit one of the graduates, Dempsey. 
Some parents spare no expense. 
During the day yesterday, I had another surprise. Someone had left the window down in the car. Our outdoor cat decided the dashboard was a perfect place to lounge. 
He's giving me a look that says, "What?"
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Sounds like it was a great party. I was once told that in Scotland each family has its own tartan pattern. I think this is true since I saw a few different colours including green ones as well when we were in Nova Scotia a few years ago. I always thought they were red until I heard this too.

Fun party! I like the idea of "Irish" bagpipers.

Cute cat...and they do find the most interesting places to settle.

Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST

That cat id no dummy -- safe, secure and practically in the driver's seat :)

BTW - I love fuschia plants and have a gorgeous one on my deck.

 Many people visit Paris in August, but mostly they run into other tourists. This year, there seem to be fewer tourists throughout the city ...
