You are a HOOT. Thanks for making me laugh. Tell ya what. If you

wear that leopard skin bikini and the tiara ALL AT ONCE, I'll go get

my THONG bikini and we'll do Denver like two beauty queens.

I'll be practicing my 'beauty queen hand wave.'

Dang it! If wish I was going to Denver! I could certainly use a

trip!

P.S. We used to have Fannie May shops here when I was a teenager,

but they disappeared when strip malls started taking over. Then,

get enough candy stores, IMHO.
