Have I put up a photo of Dean and I yet?  Nice of you to arrange Fox Hill Rd as an encounter when you mapped our route, Dean!;~)  And if this photo were large enough, you could see my life-time friend, Pauline, reflected in Dean's sunglasses.  And I am wearing the bracelet I purchased on Isle La Motte on day 6 our first day off.

Someone asked if I had ever found the bracelet.

No I didn't.

Here is what it looked like:

It had a large blown-glass green heart.

I walked wearing it the whole week it was mine.

I imagined giving and receiving love

as I breathed.

It made walking easier.

I wore it

whether it was

warm or cold.

I noticed

it had

a small pink heart

and

a small green heart.

At the end of this day, I noticed it was missing.

We had walked a very long way.

We checked the photos,

and I knew it had been lost earlier in the day.

Maybe around Wells River,

where I had rushed down to the shore.

Heading home,

we stopped 

and

I checked.

I was okay

not having it.

I did email

the store

where I had 

purchased it.

I have received no reply.

Upon my return,

I received a glass bead bracelet

my daughter and granddaughter

had strung together.

I has a metallic thread, 

and a strong clasp.

The beads are green and blue.

It was made with love.
