Opals vs Diamond

bc they’re not necessarily good for daily wear, they’re delicate. opals are in the 5.5 - 6.5 range of the hardness scale where diamonds are a 10. i don’t love diamonds but opals don’t compare in regards to longevity imo. and I’m an October baby I love them 😭 - YaYa

St Nick's 2022

So today is St Nick's, and if you look back over prior years you'll know Lisa goes all out for the kids.  This year was no exception, but with our schedule the gifts were opened hours apart and the photography . . . well, not up to par. Heck, there ARE no pictures of our exchange students

3 Years Ago Today

Three years ago today Chaco passed.

He's the ONLY reason Team Slap has 2 dogs right now. Me and Dan were not dog ppl...until this gentle giant came into our life.

Gaylord Perry, the Major League pitcher who won 300 games, threw 3000 strikeouts, won a Cy Young award at 40, and claimed to rely constantly on a spitball (probably more myth than reality) has died at age 84.
