More blessing for 2011

Hubby was thankful that we were able to accomplish many of our plans including repairs for our home last year. From our little savings, hubby got a chance to construct a new concrete fence (of course with the help of some workers) and tiled our bathroom in 2010.

We also bought a new washer to replace our 11 year old pre-owned washing machine. And to conserve a little energy, we bought this LCD television for our sala. Our next purchase list will include memory foam mattress and study table for the kids and a Sofa bed.. All our purchases were made possible by the payment for a translation project last year. Hubby and I hope that we will have another project coming for 2011.

Forgotten Gems

My daughter and I started our traditional house cleaning before the New Year. We started from the bedroom and finished, well, on the same bedroom. We haven’t accomplished much because I have to do something else. Before I picked up the trash from the floor, I notice my old jewelry box in a corner and found this silver earring much like discolored tanzanite jewelry. I wipe it a little and the opaque blue-green mineral showed. It was my favorite turquoise horse shoe earring. I used to pair it with a turquoise ring. These are part of the remaining pieces of silver jewelry I own that I can give to my daughter if she likes them.
