Since I took her name for my confirmation name in 1975, the year she was canonized, I bought one of the relics.

And no, I'm not really sure why I still have it. But there's no way in heck I'm going to open it.

I love the Indian culture and one of my best friends is from a tribe in Covelo. The land that my husband and father used to hunt on they found a large rock that has the hole where the women used to grind the corn in so that would be the only true artifact. On that property there were many of them along the river side but most of the rocks were the size of a car. Sorry about the missunderstaning. )

Whart did I do? lol My strangest possession? hmmmm, definitely my husband. Seriously, though, my strangest possession, eh? hmmm, that's rough. Ok, having just had Eric make his pitch, I have to say he's right. Each night when I crawl into bed, the pillow that I hug is the one that came with my first "big girl" bed when I was a wee one.

If it had been me, I'd have baked a cake instead of tossing the chop.

Not many people have one of those, I bet. It was a bit of a conversation piece for a while there.
