Everybody saves SOMETHING. Right?
Some People say...i save too much.
Sometimes esp after watching Hoarders or some TLC show about people with too much stuff i am like, i admit it, i do keep things...
But, if and when you see the stuff my mom and uncle kept, you would be kind like me and say, are these Worth Money? Are they historical? I THINK SO!
For example, there is this dorky but would look good with teal or turquoise if you lived in San Jose or....hippy parts of New Mexico, necklace i was going to just give away. Upon really LOOKING at it, i think it might not be just costume jewelry!
Matisse Renoir History: The famous copper jewelry Renoir Co. was started in L.A., California, by Jerry Fels. It began after Fels' Air force career and his shortened National Academy of Art (NYC) schooling. At the co. his designing was so prolific the designs were not all produced. Renoir of California, established in 1946, specialized in copper jewelry of geometric or abstract forms. Matisse, LTD.,also established in Los Angeles by Jerry Fels and family in 1952, run by artist Tann, featured copper jewelry with colorful enamel. This company was closely associated with Renoir of California, LTD. Both companies ceased production in 1964. A purchase of this FAMOUS MAKER merchandise is definitely an investment.
So, on eBay this copper weird necklace "might" be worth more than 10 dollars!? Now what? The things i keep, the brochures, the paperwork, the old bills, and the pieces of their lives are archives to me. Dunno how long i will keep them, but to me they are worth something. EVEN IF it is only a small short story.

JULY 7 seemed hopeful
BLOG
It's June 7 and there are many lucky things about the "7" in life. For one thing, it is 7 -2011! That is like that fast food place, 7-11. So today we quickly got approved and signed up for a luxorious apartment in Rio Rancho. With a pool! *two pools!* It is a pinch-me moment! I am like, there is no thing like this in NYC for less than 2,000! And now my wife is lecturing me about behavior and how i have to keep the place clean. I am thinking, man, it is just me, but i am thinking she is blaming ME for not keeping this hotel room clean. She says no, don't go into the blame mode. Phew. I am just already thinking on one hand what a commitment to one year with my name on it apartment! And at the same time, when can i fly back to NYC to stay at a hostel to meet with old buds for New Years Eve or will we be able to show friends around NYC when now i will be LIVING in the LAND OF ENCHANMENT?! and add to that, the ways that her job, and now OUR apartment ranked first, and my attempt AT a job was wishy washey, and soon will be addressed as...well, Diane could not get a job. When what she is saying is, well never mind getting a FULL time job, work on getting a small job, any job, part time nights so you can watch our lovely princess until her school starts in early August. I think.
But the sunset tonite is not clouded with ash. That was a test i believe. Airplane site and flight, and the last 3 days have ended with evenings with clouds of Arizona smoke and with the stinky smell of Arizona and perhaps Texas fires! Yep, very drought-ful. Scary, But not tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods. PHEW! another good thing.
So well i don't want to say HOPE i want to say MIRACULOUS and amazing AMAZING! Life is sweet and good. My skin is lizard dry from the air, but my heart is beating well and strong.
