'TWINKLE' the name....

I collect Crystals / prisms. And have them displayed in the windows of My 270 SeaRay Sundancer 'SPARKLE' and of course my Hunter 23 'TWINKLE'And we can't forget the Sea Doo 'SPARKIE', and the Sunfish 'TWINKIE'Just waiting to sell them all and get a 40 foot sailboat. Who's name is already set as 'CHAMBERS OF THE JOURNEYS'Hey what did you expect? 'GLIMMER'?
