Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[baby nurse]

I hear you, Cathy! Color is king

Kay, I'm so sorry to hear your mother has had health issues. I hope things are looking up. Sending you hugs, as well.

 

[kelluvpearls]

Take care KaySD.

 

[KaySD]

Purranha, Cathy, Baby Nurse, Kelluv, thank you for the hugs and well wishes. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease, and Mom is starting to have more bad days as she enters the later stages of the disease.

 

[lisa c]

The Dementias are heartbreaking. My Dad knew me for 2 days over Christmas, and I didn't know how to act. I didn't know how long he'd recognize me, and I didn't want to be impertinent.

I'm used to being 'the hospital volunteer' to him, but NOT a CandyStriper, because I'm too old.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Been there, and wouldn't wish it on anyone ... Blessings and Hugs, KaySD, Lisa C and anyone else so affected. We're here 24/7 if you need an ear or just some company. HUGS.

 

[JerseyPearl]

I am so sorry to hear that news Kay.

And ditto what Cathy said.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Kay, I'm so sorry you and your mother are going through this. My mother had Alzheimers as well, and passed away in February after a very sad decline. We had hospice helping the final 2 months.

 

[pattye]

Yes, ditto what Cathy said, too. Lots of caring friends here, whether we've met in person or not.

Reading Pearl-Guide in the early days, 10+ years ago, was for me, a brief, wonderful escape from care giving. I lurked for at least a year before joining in 2005.

 

[Marianne]

My thoughts are with you Kay and Lisa. Your parents are very fortunate to have such loving, caring daughters.

 

[Katbran]

How very sad for you both , Lisa and Kay .. it's a dreadful condition and heartbreaking for families. I am truly sorry to hear that you are all going through this . It seems to be so common now .. half of my friends now have a parent with some form of dementia/Alzheimers and they spend their time driving back and forth to Nursing homes. Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

[baby nurse]

Hugs to all of you.

These are my pink/peach ripples from Catherine Cardellini.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Baby Nurse, you have a genius talent for mixing pearls and clothing colors, and then getting a close-up selfie capturing those combinations

 

[baby nurse]

Thank you, Cathy! Truth is, I take a ton before I settle on one or two, but I thoroughly enjoy it

 

[lisa c]

Oh, a ton of pictures! I thought you took a ton of pearls,and chose a couple of necklaces to keep. Oh well, we can dream!

I really want to thank everyone on PG, for making this such a loving, safe place. PearlDreams and Pattye bore the brunt of my sorrows and Caitlin, and Pearl Guide was the place I could go for a taste of a normal life and fun. I don't take care of Dad anymore, another bigger, stronger, local sibling took over and I came home.

I hold all of you dear, knowing your generous hearts; even living with your own fears and sorrows, you send love around.

Cheers! More pearls, more fun

 

[Pearl Dreams]

baby nurse, you really caught the luster of those ripples!

 

[Bailey1856]

BN, in addition to capturing the luster of your pearls and taking great selfie neck shots, it seems like both warm and cool tone pearls agree with your skin tone.

 

[JerseyPearl]

I love those ripples!

 

[BAS]

baby nurse is indeed extremely talented at purchasing, combining pearls with clothing, wearing and photographing her pearls. I am envious. Often.

 

[baby nurse]

Thank you, lisa c, Pearl Dreams, Bailey, JP, and BAS, for the compliments. I'm really flattered! You all (as well as others I haven't named) help to make PG such a welcoming forum.

 

[Katbran]

Very pretty ! Love those pearls with that top !!
