<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2690607, member: 5833"]Wonderful coat. So nice it & its context have stayed in the family. Strangely, none of the items on my bucket list involves Mackinac Island, but was once terribly, uncontrollably, rude to a fellow party guest, an aunt of the hostess, when, after racking my brain to think of the island in Michigan she had heard about from a friend, the one with a Scottish name, clueless until she mentioned cars are not allowed there, so that when the answer broke over me I burst out laughing. I had been thinking so hard, getting frustrated, feeling stupider by the moment, the laughter was really because of the release of tension & relief at finally having the answer but must have seemed like I was deriding her mistake. How sincere could my apologies have seemed when I couldn't stopped laughing?</p><p><br /></p><p>At least you didn't get salt water taffy stuck in the weave.
