Author bjtmouse says: Once upon a time.....I had a Pen-Pal,when I was a teenager,He had asked me in one of his first letters if since I was from Texas we all rode horses?LOL I replied No but do ya'll have pet kangaroos?He sent me the cutest toy Koala with a hat and corks hanging down from its hat.In a fit of jealousy my ex destroyed all the letters and the koala and numerous other things I had received from my Pen-Pal.Every time I see a Koala it reminds me of the friend who's letters always made me laugh.
