#NationalWatchDay was founded by @Nordstrom to celebrate the history and design of #watchmaking. I chose to wear a watch instead of a bracelet as part of my #wedding ensemble. 👰🏻 I never liked bracelets and bangles that travel all over my forearm. It always seemed inconvenient when I want to play music or make art or go on about my day being a pharmacist. Watches on the other hand, were always made to fit my wrist. My first watch had a pink and purple elastic band, because I thought my two favorite colors looked great together as a young girl. 😅 My fondest memory of a #wristwatch was the time grandpa bought me a Snoopy watch. (I didn’t know the proper name was “Peanuts” until I met Matt!) it had a small-round-glass case, a leather strap, and Peanuts 🥜 characters printed on the watch-face. Grandpa got me a watch because I did really well on my exams that year. I wore the watch until the strap was broken, then replaced, the battery died, then replaced. Another memory I have about watches was getting a watch from one of my uncles. My aunt Clair and uncle Calvin traveled the world and bought back Swatch’s for me and my cousins. I don’t remember the exact design, but it was brightly colored, fun, and my mom told me they were high quality Swiss watches. . . . . . Nowadays I check time by pressing the home button on my iPhone. Although, I’ve been wanting a fitness tracking watch because I can’t stand the thought of moving and not having it count. 😂 The husband @matteleine surprised me with an early birthday present this year. I wore my Garmin watch proudly, until he declared I got a lemon and the GPS tracker does not work. I can’t wait to get my watch back, so I have a reason to move. 😝 . . . . Btw, it is #TurquoiseTuesday. Sharing my #TurquoiseWatch seems most appropriate for today. #TurquoiseOverDiamonds #SquashBlossomNecklace #ZuniSquash #JeannieLastiyano #June19NationalWatchDay #AmyNMattRxApproved #HeirloomWatch #DeadPawn (at Crownpoint, New Mexico)
