It appears that I am destined to live with felines with exquisite taste in fine jewelry.
Tabs was a purveyor of all things bling — the more elaborate, the more he was into it. At the peak of his career, experts estimate that he was wearing upwards of $1.2 million in jewelry on a daily basis.
He did a surprisingly good job of not losing anything. I’ll give him that much. He offered a few times during my yearly reviews to throw in a diamond-encrusted tiara into my bonus, but I had to adamantly refuse, because I am the person you cannot trust your diamond-encrusted tiaras to. Like, if you had me wearing a diamond tiara in your house, I would lose it in your house.
Rosie, on the other hand, is better at keeping track of her baubles. I suspect it’s her scientific mind at work. She indulged me today by wearing this turquoise number, which was one of Tabs’s favorite pieces. She seemed a little annoyed at first because it hindered her excavation of the front yard.
Rosie
Who wore it better?
You see, she’s doing a summer entomology project on insects of Marin County, which is funded by Stanfard (I’m so proud!), but she still managed to get her work done. And she looked fabulous! 😸

Rosie looks great in these photos, especially the first one. She is a worthy successor to Tabs as a jewelry model!
Rosie looks amazing, but if I have to choose, no one can wear jewelry like Tabs could.
Love Tabs reclining in the diamond necklace in the fourth photo. Rosie is so pretty!
Is that a jade plant she’s walking under? Girl I want your gardening tips stat, before I kill the jade plant Dear Daughter left with me.
Yes, it’s a jade plant! It came with the house when we bought it years ago, and when we redid the front I didn’t have the heart to take it out. It’s also supposed to be good luck! I think the key to jade is to not overwater. Touch the soil first to make sure that it’s not still damp.
Well that shouldn’t be a problem then, because I usually look at Dear Husband and say, “It’s looking a bit parched out there, you think we should water everything?”
I want automatic irrigation, but Dear Husband loves to hand water.
I think Rosie was really getting into it by the end and will be requesting more jewellery in future…
