Sounds like you handled the situation pretty well.<br />You seem like such a sweet Grandma.<br /><br />Hi Brendie, cool story on the necklace. Sounds like a talisman. Maybe it'll help Nate with his fishing. I'll tell him the story.<br />I have a Milagro of a hand that I purchased at a bead shop in New Mexico. I do so much work with my hands that it seemed appropiate. Also carry a crystal in my pocket on a daily basis. <br />Odd the things we do as people to bring us luck, protection......<br />Hope you have a great dayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882043617737467664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368546493078703237.post-75684216548686477062011-01-27T02:31:54.321-06:002011-01-27T02:31:54.321-06:00lol, your grandson necklace is a greenstone (jade)...lol, your grandson necklace is a greenstone (jade)fish hook, maori design. sold here to the tourists the jade now mostly comes from british columbia because of our strict mining laws. i bought it for $2 online but when it arrived it was alot smaller than i wanted (so you got it instead of glens daughter) it is very suitable for your grandson<br /><br />Hei Matau (Fish Hook)<br />The Maori symbols or meaning for Hei-Matau more commonly known as the fish hook symbolizes prosperity. <br />Maori use fish in many of their traditional food dishes. Fish were so plentiful to the Maori that the simple ownership of a fish hook meant prosperity. The Hei-Matau (fish hook) also represents strength, determination and good health, as well as providing safe journey over waterBrenda The Bregle Rebel Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339446362664808456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368546493078703237.post-62487811809011474522011-01-26T21:25:28.182-06:002011-01-26T21:25:28.182-06:00Now,Terry,I'll tell you the story of my Kiwi p...Now,Terry,I'll tell you the story of my Kiwi pen necklace from Brendie. I kept the box out to show off my gifts from New Zealand,to every one who might drop by during the holidays, and when I began showing all my goodies to folks, I noticed the pen was missing.My grandson,John, had asked me for a pencil,earlier in the day, and I let him use the Kiwi pen, and went on about my business. Later, when I wanted to show my gifts,the pen was missing. I asked John about it. He says,"Meemaw,you're gonna be mad."I said"Mad?Why?"John says"Because I broke the pen."I persuaded him to let me see it, and he proceeded to go behind the sofa,where he had hidden it, and retrieved the pen.Turns out,it wasn't broke, it just needed scribbling with a little to get the ink to flowing.I had never known him to do such a thing before, but I guess he thought he would be in real trouble, but no harm was done,thus a happy ending to my story.Sue from Ky.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06555815218871299696noreply@blogger.com
