Celtfire,
Do you have a sister by the name of Bridgett ? I am sure you wrote that line to temp me.
Bridgett had a garnet and silver coat/vest like the one you describe. On cold Saline valley days she would wear that coat/vest and nothing else. Of course once it warmed up the coat/vest would hang magically nearby. She came from the Welch coast and was never clothed except when she absolutly had too. She said "over there no one ever wore cloths until puberty embarassed them into it." That was the Celtic costom, she said. She also had 14 brothers and sisters. Are you one?
I loved Bridgett until she explained her sexual relationship with Mr.Castro. She also was offended by my Christinity. She never said that but I always felt it. I will always admire her positive can do spirit.
Thank for that interesting link.
