Konoto would not let Sam leave until he explained something to her. "When we were examining things at Nosmo King's shop, you said you found a clue that would help you solve a second mystery. I'm curious. Just what was that mystery?"
"Ah, simple," Sam replied. "I thought you would have figured it out on your own."
Konoto looked puzzled. "Me? Why, you're the detective. I'm trying my best to be a good Ninja. Detective work isn't my specialty or training."
"Ah, you are wrong, Konoto. You have what it takes to be a good detective and a good Ninja. You have to follow the evidence."
"I recall you showed me that piece on the one costume in Nosmo's window. But I really didn't get what you saw."
"Ah, that's where I knew we could catch this thief red handed. That small piece of thread you saw in the costume that Nosmo made was the trick in knowing how the jewel thief used the pockets in the costume she wore to get that gem. Once she had it, it was to be like Elvis and leave the building."
"I remember. That's the heartache in this whole thing," Konoto said somewhat dejectedly.
"But," Sam assured her, "you interrupted her plan and she had to leave that garment, but not before pulling the one string to release the pocket to get the gem. You actually caught her off guard and that sent this mystery into over time for her as she had to figure a way to leave. But there was one more 'invisible' piece of evidence I detected at the scene."
"What was that?"
"Ah, the Avon Pearl Perfume! I smelled it, too! Then I knew I was on the right track."
'You're joking, right?" Konoto asked in unbelief.
"No, Joe Kinwright is the stage manager!" Sam laughed. "But I am telling the truth. Without your help, we wouldn't have solved this mystery in the time we did. Now you can rest as that oriental gem is back in its place and your honor and dignity are restored."
"Thank you for putting up with me," Konoto said. "I do hope that we can see each other again." Konoto had become fond of Sam, even though all she saw him wear was that one hat and he always carried around his magnifying glass.
"I do, too!" Sam said bashfully.

A few new and a few variations...just for you. I hope your holidays are going fabulously well, darling!! XOXO
Sam got good news today, the growth on his face was benign. All we have to do now is keep our paws out of our stitches so we can heal up and get back to having fun at the lake. Easier said than done :-)
Sam's parents are out of town for the weekend, so he's staying with us. He's such a well-behaved dog; I'm hoping Odie will learn some manners for him - LOL :D
It wasn't easy for me to capture a black dog and a white dog together - took a while to get the exposure right. Odie was too busy trying to protect the yard, so even though I managed to make him stand still, he wouldn't look at the camera. Not a creative shot at all, but I'm happy I could capture these two together. They are good friends :)
Oh! Oh! Can I be the Pink Avenger!? I've always wanted to....
Oh, wait. It's the Pink "Ranger."
Dang it... : )
What's this? A man? Sam is actually the first guy I have done a shoot with. Sam's partner is Eliza, who I have took pics with a few times in the past, and we did this shoot together for an eyewear boutique. I like the little bit of glare off the glasses in this pic.
Have always though that the humble twin set is , for me, one of the great feminine outfits. Yes it may look a bit retro, but I still think they are a fabulous garment...perfect for the office!!
Found this little cemetery on top of a hill amid the cornfields northeast of Des Moines. There was only a track through the fields to get to it, and it required 4-wheel drive. Lots of people named "Sams" are buried there, including many babies and children. The gravestones are so old that many are barely legible. It's a beautiful little spot, though--I would not mind being buried there! Very peaceful and fun to explore.
The bird is real.

After a swim, she's definitely a 'yes' kinda girl. She's up at JMU right now with Kristen getting lots of TLC but I already miss her badly.
This will be my last pic for a while.....I will pop by some of you today and tomorrow as I can and then head off to the land downunder.
