9-Something you gave away, but wish you hadn't?
Well, sometime back, I purged my closets and inadvertently included a purse that had "something" very personal (that requires batteries) inside. I know what you are thinking. Why in the world was it in a purse? I am certain that question was asked several times by the employees sorting through my donations.

Yes. I have a big collage frame with pictures of the Rat Pack in the living room. Have a 5 by 7 in the dining room of my sweet little man Bo with his leash and collars around it, and another photo on Bo on my night stand. It is the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning.
13-Best bargain you have found lately?
I purchased a Vintage lot of jewelry from an estate on ebay. When I received it I was amazed to discover that among the contents was a beautiful Miriam Haskell red and white beaded bracelet from around the early to mid 50's. Haskell is very collectible and I was thrilled!

A tie with I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show.

Bridges Of Madison County, Smokey and The Bandit, Heartbreak Ridge and Coal Miner's Daughter.
COLO TWIST
16-I like Colo because....
There are many reasons, but at the top of the list is that she has such a caring, compassionate and sweet nature. I can't tell you the number of times, in the very early morning hours when most of you are sleeping, we are bouncing around the stream. Before signing off she will always say, "goodnight". And, when she senses you are going through a tough time, she signs off with, "Sleep with the angels". That ALWAYS makes me smile.
17-Colo makes me.....
Inspired.
18-Colo has.....
She has a great sense of humor.
19-Colo is.....
She is a brave and strong woman and a brilliant writer. She writes with such clarity and it always flows smoothly from one word to the other.
20-My personal message to Colo is....
Thanks for your friendship and for teaching by example about "peeling onions".
Later Ya'll...^Belle^
