One person has created a font (typeface) called “My Fair Cody” in memory of her own dog (which I in turn used to label the diabetic friendly Dog Cake I made for a recent party in the local park).
I hope that you find your lost jewelry. For what it’s worth, you may want to check with the local pawn shops. That’s typically where stolen jewelry winds up. Unfortunately, you’ll probably have to buy it back, but in the case of items primarily worthwhile for sentimental value, that may be the cheap option.
I am definitely looking forward to new columns. I love words, and I’m always fascinated by the stories behind them.

I wish you good memories of Brownie.
