Happy Birthday to me. I went shopping! New skirt because it matched my top and all the new jewelry so well.
New necklace handcrafted in Touarcek Niger.
New bracelet also from Niger.
And a new ring from De Beers. No diamonds for this girl, instead tanzanite set in white gold. Don’t even ask how much I spent. Just know I deserve it.
Oh yea, and I had smoked crocodile for lunch. What a beautiful day.

WOO HOO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY again. All the purchases look fabulous!
You look absolutely radiant and beautiful in your new clothes and jewelry! You deserve it.
Happy birthday to you! Love that ring… sitting here drooling over it! Did you see any whales in Hermanus? Only three more words for you: ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!
Dear Gaelyn, a pleasure to meet you this morning and share a Betty's Bay rainbow with you.
I wish you had told me that you celebrated your birthday yesterday as I would have given you a birthday hug on behalf of all the folks that I am sure would want to if you were near them…. Enjoy Simon's Town and pat Just Nuisence for me – Laura at Cafe Jack
Wow Happy Birthday. Nothing like celebrating on an adventure. Love the jewelry and you look terrific. Looks as though you are having a great time.
Gaelyn, the skirt and jewlery are beautiful, but they pale in comparison to the beauty that shines from within your beautiful heart! I hope that your birthday was all you expected… It's rare that what we deserve and what we get lines up the way we want. It happens like that when we walk in beauty, and I love that you do! The first day for the east is over, three more directions to go!
Oh yea, now your a croc. eating gypsy. No, an ostrich riding, mountain climbing, cave exploring, car wrecking, croc eating gypsy, whom I love!
Gaelyn,
Happy birthday! Your look great in that new skirt!
Dahling, you look mhavellous (to quote Billy Crystal doing Ricardo Montabaln). Wishing you a belated and blessed happy birthday.
You did really well and clean up really good and how can you beat smoked crocodile on your birthday.
Happy Birthday!
