Uncle Ronald was always going to flea markets, yard sales, and auctions to find really great deals. Once, I went to visit when he had just arrived from one of these adventures where he had purchased some jewelry. One necklace he particularly liked, and he'd gotten a great deal on it. He said "Kris, I can't find the magnifying glass; look at this tag, what does it say? Does it say 10K or 14K?" Well, I read it and said, "It says Avon." He and Aunt Donna laughed so hard about that, then he said, "Well, I guess we didn't strike it rich this time!" I really miss him!
