And it occurred to me to point out that what one's spouse does, or doesn't, buy them really doesn't measure the love that exists....we all know that. I was, more than anything, totally taken by surprise...and deeply touched. Now the pressure is on though....hmmm...can I find her as special a gift for Christmas as she has bought me?
Good Luck with that! I got lucky, mine "LOVES" Precious Moments. I personally have been able to keep three employees on staff there. Granted, I probably financed the building of two Cabela's stores for personnel reasons.

You'll be home in a month, Afghanistan Bazaars sell a green stone, I got a necklace for my fiance, here in the states, women who know jewelry claim it is a precious stone, hard to come by.
