Our vacation and such

Rick and I just had a great 12 days traveling and playing. Our first stop was the BNP Paribas tennis tournament in Palm Springs. It was about 87 and was a great place to start.
Our second stop was Arizona, visiting Brian, Danielle, Ayden and Drew. It was again flip-flop weather for 7 days. We went to the Giants vs Brewers game at the Giants stadium and went bowling, to the movies and played fun games - LRC and Chicken! We had a very fun time.
Yesterday we went to visit Carol and saw her new granddaughter - Lily Grace - even though she was 9.5 lbs she looked very small.

And then finally - today is Mom and Dad's 61 anniversary. We took Mom to dinner and here is a picture of her with our first order of dinner - breaded onion rings with ranch dressing. YUM!

We are back into routine.

Navajo and Zuni Jewelry

Mom and I took her jewelry to a man who buys and sells similar jewelry. We had an interesting conversation. He polished up the 2 bracelets (no big deal he said because you wear them and enjoy them, then they tarnish up right away anyway.) She has not worn these bracelets since June 1943 when she enlisted in the Navy. They got to be too difficult to put on after that. He did a slight adjustment to them and here she is proudly wearing her Native American bracelets.
