DIAMONDS

Filed under: THIS 'n' THAT — grandi13 @ 11:14 pm

It has been said that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. I like diamonds and have a few, but they are not my best friend.

Diamonds come in several grades and cuts. The higher the grade the more sparkle and color. Low grade Diamond Jewellery looks cloudy with very little sparkle.

I was introduced this year to diamonds called “hearts of fire”. Only 400 retailers in the United States carry these diamonds. My husband gave me a ‘journey of love’ necklace with this type diamond in it. This diamonds are of such fine quality and cut that seem to dance within their sparkle.

If you are in the market for a diamond or other fine stones and not educated on them, I strongly suggest that before you purchase, do your homework. You can learn alot about the cut and grade of diamonds on the internet. Also, you can go to an established jewelery store and window shop, so to speak, and there you can see for yourself the difference in diamonds. Be sure the store has a good reputation or you may be tricked into paying for a high grade diamond when it really is not. If you have a friend that is familiar with grade, color and clarity take them with you for their input on the stones.

MOTHER-PART 19

Filed under: MOTHER — grandi13 @ 10:38 pm

Today when I arrived at the facility, Mother was sleeping. I woke her, she just looked at me blankly and went back to sleep. I hung her clothes and watched her sleep for a while then left. Our best visits are when I can feed her.

MOTHER-PART 18

Filed under: MOTHER — grandi13 @ 5:31 pm

I went to see Mother yesterday morning for a few minutes before I had to go to work.

They had gotten her up in the geri-chair and only had one little baby blanket over her. It really was a baby blanket but now we use it as a lap robe. I was just talking to her not expecting any words, asked if she was ok and how are you today. Lo and behold, she said “cold”. I said ‘you are cold’ and she gave me the normal one brief nod. I went to the linen closet and got covers and put over her and asked if that was better and got another brief nod. I am saying ‘brief nod’ because that is exactly what it is, if you are not looking directly at her the nod is so slight you will miss it.

I wish that I could have fed her lunch but because of the time issue, I could not.
