The frozen confectionary section that morning was bursting with new treats. There was Shaved Ice, Rock Ice, Ice Crowns and Snow Cones. But when she saw there was one last RiverPop... oh, it had her name written all over it! She tugged her mother's skirt, looked up and focused the full hypnotic power of doe-eyed wonder and said "Pleeeeeease?" without ever uttering a word (you would have been powerless, trust me). 

It was the best RiverPop ever.

A Lady's Fringe Must Never Quite Touch The FloorTruckee River, CA

Laugh most musically,
Carry herself with elegance,

Her JewelsTruckee River, CA

She arranged her gems in such astounding order that the help wondered if she ever wore them at all.
 
Indeed she did.

When some elegant affair or other called for one of her exquisite pieces, she simply broke it off and adorned herself.
Another would simply grow back in its place.

In chill... warmth.

In a moment... a lifetime.
