Diamond prices are at their highest 🠉🠝 in a year (see diamond price index link below), and this huge, gorgeous 228.3-carat diamond is wider than your thumb. 

How high will it sell at auction on May 11, 2022?? Maybe at least $30 million 😃😮😯😀 ...

Elizabeth Taylor

My favorite movie by Ms Taylor is "Father of the Bride" with Spencer Tracy. She was an out-of-this-world beautiful  17-year old actress when it was filmed.  If you are in the midst of preparing for your own family member's wedding, this movie will provide some comic relief.  Appropriate for the whole family.

I also found one of my Mom's favorite scents today:  White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor.  I've had it on all day, and I like it.  I think I'll also make it one of my favorites for the next few days.

Comfort for the country of Chile

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,  though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof...

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge 
~ Psalm 46
