Those of you who spend time watching TV will no doubt recognize the Buxton Organizer.

My sainted Motherinlaw, God Rest her soul, I never had the opportunity to meet. But I know a few things about her.

My fatherinlaw was the Mail Order King.

When he passed, we had cases and cases of mail order pens, pencils, notepads, clocks, desk sets, yadda yadda, that were all personalized. “Best Wishes Bill” they said, or “Say no to drugs, Say Yes to Life”.

He loved the stuff.

He also loved his wife. So much so, that seeing her favorite old purse become tattered and torn, he bought her a mail order TV special purse, the day’s equivalent of the Buxton Organizer. IN fact, he got her one in each color, so she’d have one to wear for every occasion. What woman could resist!!

Yes, it had the key holder. THe matching checkbook caddy. The plastic lined area for spare clkothing, if required. So many wonderful features! In stylish leatherene! And just to show everyone how proud she was, he had them all MONOGRAMMED WITH HER FULL NAME.

God love her, she loved him so much that she never told him. She carried these huge hideous obscene purses all over hell and creation, proudly displaying them to everyone as hers, and wincing in embarrasment at being seen with the vile contraptions.

As Westley said: This is true love – you think this happens every day?
