    She will speak to you and tell you her name as soon as she decides. Fortunately Black Beauty told me right away.

    Don't know why why I heard this when I started reading... VOLARE.... I don't have the accent to put on it but the song sprang into my head... Things like that happen a LOT
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    Yup, gotta let the bike tell you. Flosshilde told me what she wanted me to call her as I was falling asleep one night. And that was before I even had her in my hot little hands!

    Now that I have her, I must say the name suits her beautifully.

    Here she is...

    Pictures! One pretty standard pic from the side, then a more artsy one--I love Photoshop!
    And possible names. So far, she's only whispering, so it might be any of these:
    MizCrabtree (of Little Rascals fame)
    Abby Normal (from "Young Frankenstein")
    Sugar Magnolia (from nowhere in particular--though I think there was a popular song by this title, back in the 80s?)
    Annabelle Lee (E. A. Poe)
    and the one I'm leaning toward at the moment, Professor Sprout, from the world of Harry Potter:
    "Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint."
    Sounds more like a MTB maybe, but still, I like the sense of tomboyishness.

    Any preferences?

    Is that her in your avatar?

    "I will try again tomorrow".
