Look what I'm wearing to work today!

I received a wonderful gift this past week--a beautiful turtle shell necklace!  My father-in-law (The Scorpion) sent it to me.  It belonged to his mom.  Back in the early 1960s, The Scorpion's mom and dad went to visit the Grand Canyon.  They came back with a beautiful necklace handmade by Native Americans out of silver and turtle shells.  I didn't know that turtle shells had so many colors!

The necklace is composed of roadrunners, the New Mexico state bird (but The Scorpion and Mr. Nonny Nu are sons of Arizona).  My favorite one is the purple roadrunner, and my second favorite is the white with brown streak (upper right hand corner).  But, of course, I love the many other colors, too.  Here are some additional pics with a different colored background (here and here and here).

Thanks, Scorpion!

    I'm glad you have finally approved of the roadrunner, Mr. NN. Everyone else who has seen the necklace also approve!

    Wow. I never knew tarantula hawks to be a possible danger to humans. Used to see them all the time. I'll need to work this into a nickname for someone.
