dear timmy,
the pics cant be enlarged so i cant study them well.
right handed male in fifties. 2 turquoise rings cant be a co-incidence and since you dont seem to be the superstitious types, there has to be a cultural significance. for you, i'd go for a native american connection rather than an islamic one.

The hat is small for your head so either someone elses or an older one.

the family potrait is important to you hence on a pedestal. your parents?

No watch, neither a mark left by one so obviously not an office worker.

Lack of tan explained by winter months at time of pic. but then why is the fireplace not used? relying more on central heating?

paint and flooring in good condition and room clean so someone is looking after the place. was this pic taken over a weekend?

There are lots of things that i'd like to ask but the first one is that why is the gift bag moving to the right everytime the photographer is moving to the left? did she have to move a couch or a table?

tell me more about a the bracelet

As i said I couldnt enlarge the pics so couldnt say more or very accurately.

I'm a New Mexican

That's a picture of my Mother-in-Law. She was a very nice person and I miss her.

I have an old Omega Constellation automatic that needs to be cleaned and lubricated. Since it is about the only watch I care to wear, I haven't been using it for a couple of years. Another thing to get around to.

This is the first house we've owned since we've been married that has a thermostat. We consider that to be quite an innovation. We lived out West in the mountains and heated with wood. I can tell you all about the insects and spiders that come in with wood fuel, the smoke that gets on the walls and windows, the mess of hauling out ashes, and creosote-plugged chimneys.

My younger daughter's mother-in-law stopped in when I was installing gas logs in that fireplace you see. She said, "Oh! Don't' you want a real wood fire?" as if I was from Mars. It took all of my will power to keep from saying, "Oh, sure, and we're throwing out the toilets and digging a hole in the back yard, too!"

In fact, we haven't used the fireplace even with the gas logs for a couple of years, because it simply isn't cold enough. We like to keep the house at 63°F/17°C and this place seldom gets cool enough for us, so the fireplace is pretty much a decoration. But when we sell the house, I'm sure some Texan will make good use of it -- they even burn wood in Spring and Fall here!

No

It was Christmas time and my Wife, who snapped the pics, didn't want the bags in the pics, so she kept moving about. Since the whole thing was just about the rifles, I didn't much care.

tell me more about a the bracelet

It was made by Dan Jackson, a Navajo artist. The patterns he uses are based on the patterns in the blankets his mother used to weave. The bracelet is made out of layers of silver sheet soldered together, and the layers that have the pattern are hand cut and laid on the underlying layers. The background is stippled black and the pattern itself is tooled, so that it catches light for a glittering effect.

However, my Wife is the one with the Native American jewelry. My thing is Acoma pottery.

thanks for the explanationsIf this wasnt taken over the weekend then how does one explain the unshaved face on a person with neatly clipped nails and very clean meticulous clothing

I hate to shave, and I REALLY HATE dirty hands and fingernails.
