Wedding rings—such a simple thing, and so powerful.

Had to have some tests done before C. Forgot to take my ring off until the nurse said something. She laid it on my clothes and when they got ready to wheel me to another room, I was stressing. “Make sure my husband gets my ring.” Hubby said as I was coming out of the anesthia, I asked him over and over if he had it.

Worn it for almost 30 years. I feel more naked without it than without clothes.

Nice Holiday display....I always knew carrots were healthy and I will really be healthy when I dig into that carrot cake. It is one of my favorite cakes.

After I get some work done, I will come back to play, ya’ll!

The Legend Of The Wedding Ring
Author Unknown

In a far off country many centuries ago,
A kind young king was married to a princess he loved.

Together they lived happily
Until they learned one day that duties were to force
The king to journey far away.

One night, before he left,
He tossed some pebbles into a moonlit pool
On the palace grounds
As he sat thinking of his lovely Queen.

Something wonderful occurred to him
As the lovely ripples widened,
From where the little pebbles had fallen.

The next day,
Remembering the glistening circles he had seen,
He had a gold ring made
To fit the finger of his Queen.

“There is no ending or beginning
To the circle of this band”,
The King said as he slipped it on her finger,
“And that is why I have chosen this golden ring
To be a pledge to you-
My love will last through all eternity.”

And so, since that time,
A golden ring has been a symbol
Of the beauty of devotion
And the beauty of the endlessness of love.
