i'm not sure if Clara and Marcela are hosting a "junkin' monday" this week ...but i am celebrating anyway ... on thursday, i had a very special junkin' day:not because of what i found ... but rather who i was with when i found what idid ... i had the great pleasure of meeting up with Marilee as she was makingher way down Ohio to visit her friend in Columbus ... Marilee was also playingSanta Claus
