Lady is our Chocolate Lab and Maybe is our Boston Terrier. Lady is a big help around the house as she helps carry in the groceries and will fetch the remote or phone which ever you ask her to do. Sometimes she brings them just because she is feeling starved for attention. Silly dog. They both have the run of the house and claim any bed or person to sleep on. Maybe is the tormenter of Lady always biting her tail and chasing her around. We love our girls very much as they bring lots of joy to our home. Enjoy the picture of Lady with Cameron and Maybe with Nathan.

From DIB - Second-generation South Asian-Americans are a following a new trend in jewelry. They are now increasing their purchases of diamond jewelry instead of sticking to a centuries-old tradition of accessorizing with 24-karat gold for weddings, birthdays and cultural celebrations. According to an article in the Houston Chronicle, retail jewelers, who once stocked up on gold to meet the demand of Indian and other South Asian-American customers, now say that diamond sales account for at least half their sales and inventory. Assimilated into American culture, second-generation South Asian-American brides are increasingly choosing diamond jewelry to wear at their weddings instead of the traditional gold jewelry. For instance, as the Houston Chronicle reports, while Hindu women have traditionally worn a necklace made of a gold ornament hung from a string of black beads or a golden chain, known as a mangalsutra, they are now opting for diamond wedding rings. Jewelry retailers have observed that these second-generation buyers are more willing to spend more money on a few diamonds than on a lot of gold. The article attributes the preference for diamonds to an improvement in the family’s economic conditions. However, the article reports that despite the growing appeal of diamonds, these Asian-American buyers haven’t lost their love of gold. Stores still sell the traditional mangalsutra, but with diamond pendants.
