Belated Birthday Celebration

Today, in honor of our birthdays last month, Rachel and I took each other out to lunch and bought each other earrings. We spent a good long time trying on numerous pairs of earrings before making up our minds. These are mine. The stone is something called labradorite; it looks greyish-bluish but somehow picks up other colors as well. Rachel's had a largish, very pale blue stone (Was it a topaz? I forgot). Then we had Mexican food and sangria. Without a doubt, it was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours in the middle of the week!
