good morning all. yup, it's flurrying a tiny bit out there, the temps are dropping fast and the radar shows the big front of cold air dropping down. We'll see if Larro gets a flurry today! Probably not, would confuse the alligators.
I have an interesting day planned. After I found six hundred bucks hidden in one drawer, my sister is coming over and we will have a type of easter egg hunt, find the money... I would always go to the bank and if I took out three hundred bucks from the ATM, I always gave Nadene two hundred, and she would always smile and tuck it away. She was a bit of a pack rat so it should be an interesting day.
I took all Nadene's jewelry, and tried to pick out the good stuff, vs. the costume jewelry. Not easy for a guy to do.
But I will have helpers... I gave Nadene's sister the little pinkie ring that Nadene always wore, and gave my SIL a nice gold chain. Something for them to remember Nadene by.
Now my sister, who I adore..., she will come over and have everything laid out in front of her, and she gets to pick. No matter what it is, she's pretty minimalist and definitely not materialistic, so I don't expect her to zoom in on the diamond tennis bracelet just because it's worth thousands. She will likely take a little pin or some goofy costume jewelry.
I don't care, it's the memory. I'm going to get thirty to fifty cents on a dollar to sell all the stuff; luckily I have a trusted jeweler in town that I can literally hand it all to and expect to get a fair deal.
I did keep her favorite manatee necklace, and that plus our wedding rings will hang on my office lamp. I need to keep something too. They are just things, but they are full of love.
