……………………..On Sunday I went to my nephew and Godson Mathew’s home to celebrate his 47th birthday……..It’s funny how the age gap seems to be closer as the youngins’ get older!!!! It was a marvelous day!….We swam in his pool, and sat by the fire pit as the evening got cooler. the seasons are changing already and the days are getting noticeably shorter…..He cooked on the grill and it was all delicious…..This week he and Michele, his partner in life, are taking her youngest daughter to college in Florida to get her settled in [photo second in from top left]. They are now going to be official “empty nesters”…..We had a terrific time!

………………To help celebrate I made a CHOCOLATE CHEESE CAKE with Oreo cookie crust and topped it with CHOCOLATE GANACHE, and on top of that OREO COOKIE CRUMBS……I also brought Prosecco to have with the cake!!!…His brother, and also my God son. Chris was there with his girlfriend Danielle…..Also joining the party was Mathew and Michele’s doggie…..It was a fun day!

………………………IT JUST NEVER GETS OLD!!!!………..IT’S ALWAYS THRILLING when an AMERICAN athlete wins a medal……but…..when they get GOLD….and the STAR SPANGLED BANNER PLAYS…..and the AMERICAN FLAG is raised higher than all the others….you just can’t help but feel….as an American………….PROUD…..tears of happiness come to my eyes…….all politics and world troubles go out the window and the world is how it should ALWAYS BE with………PEACE & HAPPINESS…………I congratulate the US BASKETBALL TEAM for winning GOLD once again!!! and to ALL OF THE AMERICAN ATHELETS…….and to ALL ATHELES from all nations who made their countries proud………Today the games end….and the closing ceremonies will take place…..then……it’s the BIG WAIT for four years until the next SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES take place in………….LOS ANGELES…….USA!!!!!!! I can’t wait!

……………………..The CURB LINK DESIGN is a MODERN CLASSIC!………..The Curb Link design has been used for…..necklaces……bracelets….belts…..decorations on shoes and boots…..the arms of eyeglasses…straps on dresses…..and EARRINGS…..etc….etc……J427317 is the style number of this BRONZE earring……It is available on my LINEA JEWELRY QVC site in……STERLING SILVER….18 KARAT GOLD….and 18 KARAT ROSE GOLD plate….It is made with the ELECTROFORM process so it has a major presence but is light weight!………This is a classic design with a twist, and lots of fun to wear!

……………….There are seasons and collections that are almost void of color……..Sometimes a color or two are added just to break up the black, grey and neutrals………..and then…………there are collections that look like the RAINBOW fell on them……This was such a collection…….The four models…..NADEGE…..ELAINE…..YASMEEN…..and CHRISTY…..are all wearing the exact same outfits……Knit Turtlenecks…..Zip Front fitted Jackets…..pleated skirts, gloves, and tights…[side zip booties in different colors, not in the picture]……ALL IN DIFFERENT COLOR COMBINATIONS…..The custom hammered gold zipper pulls, and all the earrings were part of my AK COUTURE JEWELRY COLLECTION…..I even had hammered gold earrings that matched the signature zipper pulls that repeated on many styles…………Only a woman with confidence and imagination would wear these outfits!…………P.S…….they sold well!
