It's always been very special to me to be able to visit our conservatory in the dead of winter and see flowers and greenery knowing that spring will come again.

I used to buy my mom a tiger eye ring, whenever I traveled to Mexico. Tiger eye was her favorite. RIP Now, years later.... I've started my own collection of tiger eye.

Singapore shopping district during Christmas season:

My deepest sympathy for you and your family.

It was so nice to be home on the bayou for Christmas.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Gazania. Nicole, did your mother pass recently? If so, my condolences. I lost my brother-in-law yesterday as well.

Murraysmom......no, not recently. I'm sad to hear of your loss tho. My condolences.

I did just purchase the tiger eye ring. Can't look @ tiger eye without thinking of ALL the shopping I did to find affordable pieces to gift her with. :0) I even took a jewelry making class/art class in high school and made her a tiger eye brooch set in silver.

Moni...sure...!

lgmd....I'm sorry for your loss.....

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, and condolences. And to Murrysmom, sorry to see that you too have had a loss of a family member yesterday too.

My condolences to Igmd_gaz and Murraysmom. Losing someone during the holidays is always especially difficult.
