Nothing can get me!

Jackson is not waiting around to see what all the rumbling is about or where his brother is. As soon as he hears thunder it is every dog for himself and he heads for safety. He has decided the bathtub is good for one thing only and it is certainly is not for taking a bath! The sliding glass door is no challenge for him--that is why he has front paws.

Rainbow

Laura's Sun Glasses

I remember when Laura bought the glasses and when she lost them. She was really upset that she couldn’t find them. After she died, my brother found them in his car and gave them to me. He didn’t know who they belonged to but I recognized them immediately.

I went to the doctor at work for my annual eye exam on Thursday, June 4. The doctor comes once a year and he also offers frames at a discount for the staff’s convenience. I took Laura’s Michael Kors sun glasses with me to inquire about having my prescription put into the frames. The woman who is a total stranger to me asked me to put the glasses on so she could take measurements. I did and she gasped. She said to me that she couldn’t believe it but there was a rainbow going straight across the top of the lens. She was pretty astounded. I wasn’t. I told her they were my daughter’s glasses and my daughter passed away in November. She replied by saying, “Then you know what the rainbow means.”

The Mystery of the Horn

Almost a year ago, my husband lost his Italianhorn that I bought for him many years ago.It was not the run-of-the-mill horn. This onehas unique carvings on it and we have neverseen another design like it. The charm alsohas sentimental value. He always wore itaround his neck with other charms that hereceived as gifts from his parents, daughter,and me. He never removes his chain unlessa charm has to be repaired or cleaned.Sadly, one day he noticed the charm wasmissing from his chain. He thought maybethe jeweler lost it the last time he cleanedthe items. The jeweler denied loosing anything and explained to him how he weighs gold before and after as a precaution.

So the horn was gone…that is until Monday, May 25, 2009. It was early morning and hewalked into the bathroom and there sitting on the tiles adjacent to the tub was the horn!He was so surprised and he immediately woke me up to see it for myself (after myinitial reaction, I immediately took a picture of it). I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.Where has it been all this time? A mystery we will never know the answer to (alomg witha lot of other mysteries). Who placed it there (it was just us and the pup in the house)?

It wasn’t Saint Anthony because I know we never asked him to help locate it. I knowin my heart who placed it there in plain site--thanks Laura! Dad is so happy to have the horn back. Although, we wish with all our heart and soul that we could have you back instead.
