Meeting new people is one of the highlights of these jewelry events. We’ve got some great friends from California, Florida and now Pennsylvania. Last night we met a great couple at one of the after hours events. We had breakfast with them earlier that day so they invited us to sit with them and talk. The party was over at 9, we did not leave till 10:30. Our conversation had a wide range of topics: jewelry, secret service, people drinkng too much and vasectomies. I have not laughed that much in a long time. No matter where you’re from, you can always find folks to connect with.

My wife is in the right business, jewelry. She loves to buy jewelry, wear jewelry, sell jewelry and anything else you can think of related to jewelry. This time, for our Fall buying trip, we had a plan and a set budget weeks before we left home and it was set in stone. Mushy, soft stone. The kind that crumbles in your hand. With badge in hand we entered into the holy of hollies, the buying room. There were no less than 600 vendors set up with all the latest styles and jewels. I turned to say something to my wife and she was gone. All that was left was a vapor, like the “road runner” used to leave in those old cartoons. When I finally found her the damage had already been done. She had a smile on her face and enough invoices in her hand to keep a small family warm through the winter if burned. No problem!! If we can’t pay our bills we’ll be the best looking hobo’s in town.
