Love, love, love the necklace!

(And I would totally wear it with jeans, but then I wear lace shawls with jeans, so you shouldn't take me for an example.)

(Awed silence)

Well, that didn't last long. The silence, anyway. The restaurant photo--you both look terribly, terribly distinguished. And happy. The necklace--that's incredible, and gorgeous, and of course you fondle it now and then. The roses--also gorgeous and not to be missed.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.

A lovely photo of you both, one to treasure! Smile

That's a gorgeous necklace but what I really want is the Enterprise bottle opener. As Star Trek stuff goes it quite classy!

That is such a beautiful necklace. Its creator/designer was obviously inspired. I love that peachy pink of the flowers.

And that's a very nice picture of you and Peter. Smile

I love the umbrella!

I covet the silver & coral necklace! I'd ask you where Peter found it, or who made it, but well...how many years ago? You see what I mean.

You know, I zeroed in on that necklace immediately when I looked at the first picture, before I realized you were going to give us a close-up of it farther down and tell us about it. Zoomed in as far as I could to get a good look at it. It's fantastic. I'm not much on jewelry, but that's definitely my kind of thing.

Wowee! What great gifts! And the necklace is beautiful. I can see why you take it out to pet it every so often.

Smooshes!
