So, I don't have a retirement plan at this time. But I do know that home repair continues...it never ends.
In this picture, you can see, I replaced the top drawer rail bracket in the kitchen, it was broken, just like the one below it....I ordered a replacement plastic rail holder part from Amazon, and it worked great!
SO, now that I know the part fits and works great, I ordered more. In the meantime, I pulled out the broken part and just screwed the broken one back in place, it'll hold until the new parts get here.
On day two, I went shopping with my DD. I told Hubs, a couple of years ago, that when I retire I want to get a big ol diamond ring. He said, you better go look and find something you like! So off DD and I went.
That one on the far right, with the two big honking European cut diamonds, is a vintage ring-waaaay out of my budget, but I sure do like the setting.
We went to, I think, 6 jewelry stores. I figured out what I don't like and what I do like and there is just so much to consider!
I didn't buy a ring yet, but it was so great to spend some time with Darling Daughter, and to narrow down the field. And I did buy this.....
It's a 2.36 carat Emerald cut diamond.
I can't get a good photo of it, but boy oh boy does it sparkle. I can see why there are diamond heists in the movies. It's just a really beautiful stone and I got a really good deal on it too! There's an "event" at the jewelry store in May and I'll look for a custom setting then.
There's more to come. Wait till I show you what's next!
