More than 30 vendors will be participating at the Sausalito Jewelry and Antiques Show today and Sunday. Since there are so many wonderful restaurants nearby, it's a super destination for a mother/daughter outing.
At this show, expect to find a large variety of jewelry and accessories in Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco and Retro styles. Look for beaded bags, belts, purses, sunglasses and scarves. The show also features decorator items, including silver and pottery.
Mothers come in all shapes and sizes. But in our eyes and hearts, we consider our mother as the most beautiful woman in the world. This mother’s day, Asian Journal Northern California pays tribute to a few of the (beauty queen) mothers in the Filipino-American community who are not only crowned for their beauties, but have shown their inner glow through their hearts by being loving mothers and wives, as well as role models.

mother’s 70th birthday, an Americanized Vietnamese son searches for answers to the family matriarch’s question: “Who will light incense to the dead when we’re gone?”
My mother turned 70 recently, and though she remains a vivacious woman -- her hair is still mostly black and there is a girlish twang in her laughter -- mortality nevertheless weighs heavily on her soul. After the gifts were opened and the cake eaten, mother whispered this confidence to her younger sister: "Who will light incense to the dead when we’re gone?"
"Honestly, I don't know,” my aunt replied. “None of my children will do it, and we can forget the grandchildren. They don't even understand what we are doing. I guess when we're gone, the ritual ends.
Military families have paid in hunt for bin Laden
SAN JOSE, Calif. - It is part of Osama bin Laden's terrible legacy -- almost a decade American military funerals, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.
"Part of what it takes to live in a great nation," said Ron Ross, who buried his 22-year-old son last month in Green Bay, Wis.
His son, Corporal Justin Ross, was killed in Afghanistan.
So, too, was James Malachowski, a 25-year-old Marine.

"I have never felt this much pain in my entire life," said his mother, Alison Malachowski. "My son is gone."
While the greatest sacrifice leaves the greatest pain, tens of thousands of military families have paid in other ways.
