A little bit of mystery!

My dad used to say that my mom looked like a gypsy. She had dark hair, dark eyes and pale skinned. So for a joke he bought her this crystal ball. She used to joke that she could see our future in it! She would tell me if it was going to snow the next day. I remember begging her to let it snow, wanting it to snow so much and believing that she could control the weather! She would tell me that if I was good she might let it snow!

She died when I was 22, and to this day I still love thinking of her playing with her crystal ball and predicting the future!

Lyz, the wicked step mother, found it and insisted that it should go on display! I may have mentioned that Lyz is a wonderful woman! So we dusted it down, found a purple silk scarf and set it up on one of the books shelves! It looks great!

I just hope that if I have kids I can convince them just as easily that it is magical!
