Pink Saturday

I do not know what happened to the week, but it is already Pink Saturday. Beverly and her many friends are gathering to show off their pink wares. Take time out and join them at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog.

September of 2002, I had the pleasure of spending time with Coloradolady at her cabin near Hartsel, Colorado. On one of our side trips, we went to Salida, Colorado. It is a neat, great place to visit. In walking the streets, we found this shop. It about blew me away with so many unusual things of beauty. All his work is started with just plain, ordinary light bulbs. The following picture shows the one I bought. Note the touch of pink. Making a choice was not easy as he had thousands to pick from. He will even make personalized one for you. He made one for me to give my son with a golf scene inside the bulb. It turned out great.

To put the final touch on this episode, I have to take you a little further into this story. Michael is the owner of this shop and he is one more character. In fact, the two of us got to going on with each other so, I left my credit card in his shop. Did not discover it till much later in the day miles away from there. I panicked thinking I had lost my card. We called him and he had found it. Back again we go to Salida. Believe me, we drove many a mile out of the way for my card.

I learned two things that day; keep your mind on your business and your hand on your credit card.

My new friend for this week is a nice gentleman. He goes by Matty, "I can See Clearly Now". He has a very nice blog and would enjoy you dropping by for a visit. He and I have one thing in common, we both enjoy books by Nichols Sparks. You can reach him at http://icanseeclearlynow26.blogspot.com.
