Remember me talking about that bracelet I've been dreaming about for years? Be forewarned, this will be a shallow, frivolous post. If that's not your cup o' tea, have a lovely day and I'll see you next post. XOXOX
Now, for those of us who take delight in beautiful things, let's continue, shall we? So. The bracelet. One of my "to do" matters while in Honduras was to find the bracelet and explore the possibilities of purchasing it into my loving care. I found it and ogled over it and then did the unthinkable and asked about the price. It had gone up. One. Hundred. Dollarrrrs. My sparkly little dreams casacaded around me, to put it lightly and I turned away with a "thank you" and a wistful little smile. Oh well. It would have been nice.
Then....
On one of our last days, we were running around completing errands and one of our stops happened to be right next door to a renown jewelry shop. I slipped in quietly, looked around and my eyes landed on the beauty portrayed above. All I wanted to do was try it on. That's all. Just try it on, admire, and walk away. But then I just had to do it. "Excuse me Ma'am, what is the price of this gorgeousness? Really? Well, that's not bad." Not bad at all. I think I could care for you pretty bracelet. For ever and ever, and then pass you down to someone special. And besides, I just got a nice order for jewelry to make that would pay for you (except for $10...but who cares about ten little dollars anyway?)....And then the lady removed all need for argument in a few short sentences. She informed me that the bracelet was made of Israeli silver that was special ordered for each unique design, and it was actually half off of the original price. SOLD.
It may not be the Mayan design I had originally wanted, but it is Israeli silver. And it's beautiful and I am really enjoying it. So if you happen to be around me and your eyes get dazzled by a pretty shiny thing, now you know the story behind it. And now our brains have been slightly expanded with a little bit of fluff.

Somehow, I think I'm glad I returned from Honduras before you did, Q. I may have been out money for a bracelet, and I was, indeed, interested in helping you purchase it. Somehow I have a feeling I DID HELP YOU PURCHASE IT!! At least, I hope I did!! 8>) And if I did, I am very, very happy for you. It is a very nice baraclet, to say the least. CONGRATS! If I didn't, well, there is always next year...the earrings, you know.
Love, Dad
Está hermoso! Tenes muy buen gusto, Sarai. Ganas de estarlos disfrutando en persona...
YES Dad! You helped....remember the $10 difference...well, that had to come from somewhere! Thank you for being so generous with us! It was not expected and very appreciated.
Estiven,
Gracias por el piropo. Oye me hacen bastante falta. Para serte sincera estoy bien homesick por mi famila. Me mata pensar que no vamos a pasar la navidad juntos. Este año tocaba con los Thompson pero por finanzas y por la boda del Chumo, se cambió la sitiación. I really miss you guys....
Dale un besote a ese principe tuyo, tan guapo que es.
