And happy birthday, Diane!

Diane is the middle Daniels' sister. When I lived here in the early 90's fresh from my divorce, I stayed with Diane's dad, Jack (yes, Jack Daniels!) He was like a second dad to me. He and my dad had been friends and shared the same gift for storytelling. He opened his home to me and helped me get thru a really difficult time. Diane was a big help to me, too. She spent time with me. We took long walks in the rain. She was a great listener and good friend.

I found these beautiful translucent beads and made her a bracelet and matching earrings. Purple is definitely her color!
