Provenance and bragging






Wasn't it much nicer this weekend than you were expecting based on the forecast? We weren't looking forward to riding out to Livingston Manor yesterday for Ryan's game but it the day really wasn't so bad. We came into town right on top of their Homecoming parade, reminding me of Paula's appearance in one of our parades recently. Anyhow, they won and Ryan scored three touchdowns (maybe 4 yards total among all three but nevertheless....). I'm pretty sure that's a personal best for him.


Continuing the Provenance series, this is a bracelet I believe was probably Nanny Ryan's. You'll note that it has cousin Colleen as well as five of us so must be this was created between 1962 and 1966. I know that anyone would recognize this as having significance but it was of special significance to me because it gave me Colleen's birth date sooner than I got it otherwise. The birthdates are on the back side. Colleen's is June 9 1962. I am supposing Mom had it from Nanny Ryan's things but I don't remember ever seeing it too much. I have things of Mom's that hardly ever come out either but still need to stay with me.
