Hi NIRDI’s
@Jimmianne thank you for the lovely compliments. I am enjoying my earrings. Your gate looks perfect; it suits your gorgeous garden really well.
@missy thank you for the purrrrrrfect compliment; I am totally loving my earrings. No worries about no sunspots - we are at solar minimum which is a usual 11 year / 22 year cycle. They’ll come back. The last time we had a long period of few to no sunspots was a 70 year period in the 17th century and the earth was noticeably colder during that spell known as Maunder Minimum. I’ll take my astronomy teacher hat off now. 80 sounds pretty warm there; we were in the 50’s today but it’s warm in the Sun. I think they have 70’s in the forecast next week for here. You and Greg will be out on the bike soon; good idea to make sure it’s in top notch shape before hitting the road with it.
@AV_ we had quite a bit of rain yesterday but it’s sunny today. Cool to plan on being the first customer at the cafe on Monday.
@Mamabean thank you. I agree I think the 3/4 carat range is great for a pendant. I was originally going to have the diamond mounted in a solitaire but Melissa at CBI suggested some vintage style mountings for it which led me to looking around Stuller and I ended up with that setting. I know you enjoyed having Shatzie visit today. Looking forward to your orange hair story. I gave myself Ronald McDonald orange hair one time; it was fun.
@bling_dream19 thank you. I like matching sets, as OCD as I am that is not surprising, eh? Enjoy a restful weekend. Is your porch enclosed?
@Tekate I’m with you on swiffers; what a great invention. Pretty much every time Marty cooks I run one over the kitchen floor. You can’t ask for more than your children being well and happy. Auti is so adorable; I smile every time I see her in your avatar now. Thank you for the kind words about my earrings. I am quite happy with them. Glad to see you worked out something to get your pool built now. Smart thinking on the lot layout to utilize the space and distance from neighbors and the street. Marty did a great job picking our lot; we have a greenway path on 2 sides so more room in that direction between us and our neighbors and then we lucked out our neighbor on the other side of us had a long house built instead of wide. He also picked out a spot where our walkout basement would be flat but the angle up to the front of our house was steep enough that we didn’t end up with any egress window wells.
canuk-gal that is great you have nice weather and no wind. That’s pretty crappy about your son’s bike and tire.
@Niffler75 I hope you are having a great weekend.
I had a wonderful day. i was let out of prison on dubious good behavior. We had lunch at a real restaurant, then walked around our botanic gardens, got the pickup washed and now Marty is napping. i ate so much i kind of have a stomach ache. I had a large chicken finger, fries, raw veggies and a 6 oz filet. I polished off 2 glasses of wine and we split a Creme Brulee.
I spent my first 2 hours today taking pictures of my earrings since the sun was shining. Those diamonds are fireballs.
Take care.

I’ll have to buy one...
the earrings on you, they’re the perfect size , I don’t think I’d want bigger because they’re so wearable IYKWIM. 
) It’s all getting real now. Glad to hear all the family are keeping well, are Mike & Cara all settled in to their new place now? All good here and there, we’re keeping safe and healthy.
