One of my custom-made rings is living in Saipan with my gorgeous client Deb. She sent me this photo of the ring contemplating the sunset.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDeb originally moved to Saipan with her ex-parrot, Rodney. Rodney flew away to become king of the local birds, and now Deb has a handsome human named Brad to keep her company. This was a smart exchange. I haven’t met Brad in person yet but from his emails I can tell he has much more to say than, “Good morning, Rodney,” which must be a relief to Deb. I will hazard a guess and say that, unlike Rodney, Brad probably doesn’t spend a lot of time screaming like a banshee, begging for Starburst candies and biting Deb on the ear. Of course, if that’s what Brad and Deb are into, I don’t judge. As long as everyone’s happy!<\/p>\n

I thought Rodney was an African Grey parrot but it turns out he’s a Senegal parrot. At least I didn’t confuse him with the easily stunned Norwegian Blue Parrot<\/a>. Though, like Monty Python’s Norwegian Blue, it is probable that Rodney has ceased to be, that he has expired and gone to meet his maker, and that his metabolic processes are a matter of interest only to historians.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is not Rodney, just a random parrot picture from Wings Central<\/a><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I think my new Dewdrop earrings go well with the colors in Deb’s sunset photo.<\/p>\n
