……………………Happy Birthday in Heaven my little Cinco De Mayo baby……It’s hard to believe this Dec. 12th my Jac will be gone six years. I know she’s not alone celebrating her birthday…She’s with her beloved Mother, my parents, my brother John and my nephew John, and so many many friends! There are more people in heaven with her than the few that are still here on Earth!….but…..I miss her more than ever….I have come to realize that…………………..”Grief never ends………but it changes…..It’s a passage, not a place to stay……..Grief is not a weakness, nor a lack of faith……..It is the price of LOVE”.

…………………This BOLD NEW HOOP….J422014, is now available on the QVC Jewelry site. It has a graduated shape, meaning it tappers slight at both ends of the earring. It is 1 1/4 inches long, and is avail in the HIGH POLISHED STERLING SILVER…..and the STERLING plated in 18 KARAT GOLD. It is wonderfully secure on the ear and is light as a feather!…..This is the perfect “go to” everyday hoop earring…..You can always use a new hoop to freshen your earring wardrobe……especially when it’s as beautiful as this one.

……………………..There is a BRAND NEW STERLING SILVER CUFF!………J422016 is the style number, and it is called…..”THE CELESTIAL CUFF”…….The SHAPE, SIZE and distinctive WAVE profile separate this cuff from all others. It is HIGH POLISHED, and is avail in small, average and large sizes. It is perfect for stacking if you like that look….I DO!……Many of you are familiar with the CELESTIAL RING, J421062, that sold out [more about that later]. This cuff is a sister to the ring, meaning they both have similar shapes and coordinate beautifully. This would be the perfect cuff to add to your collection.

………………………….Getting tan in Hawaii! LOL…..Being of Italian descent I can get a pretty good tan, and pretty quickly. Jac, even though she was very pale, could get pretty tan too…..except she never exposed her face to the sun and always slathered it with sun screen and wore a hat!!! Here we are fooling around in Maui!…..checking out my tan line!!

…………………..If you have ever been to Maui, Hawaii one of the suggested excursions is taking a car ride to the town of “Hana”. The actual highway is approx. 64.4 miles long of winding roads….mostly at the cliffs edge. For drivers who attempt this trip there are places to stop a long the way to see the tropical rainforest and waterfalls…..On one of our days off during our stay on Maui, we, Jac, Joe, Connie and myself decided to take this drive…..not really knowing what we were in for. We should have realized the tee shirts that were being sold that said “I made the trip to Hana” was a warning! So we rented a car and on our merry way we went. I was the driver. The photo is of Jac at one of our road stops where there was a lovely waterfall. Out of the car we got…took our pictures, and back in the car continuing our trip. We finally made it to Hana, had lunch, looked at some shops and started back…I can tell you for the driver this is not a fun trip. You really had to keep your wits about you on this windy road……When we got back to the hotel I had a huge headache, but everyone loved the trip and the beautiful views of Maui. I got a great picture of Jac….which unfortunately is fading with age.
