My younger son just came over and told us that he and his girl are engaged!!! They have been living together, but I figured if it was right, it would happen.

No dates yet, or even ring...
I found my pearl ring, that my husband bought me while on our honeymoon. We opened 2 oysters and then had them set into pretty ring with 2 little chips of diamonds.

He is thrilled that he has a ring to give her today...and I know that she will like it. It will do until they have a chance to get one....

Got to go and try to make myself look a bit better...being sick has made me look worse than normal...
Ordering pizza....but I did put a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge and got out my Mom's crystal champagne glasses...Just wish I could have Mom & Dad over tonight, too...

I hope, and believe, she will be touched at the family's reception of her with this ring, the family crystal goblets, and congratulations party, especially if she's aware you've been sick. :-)

Nothing like a good report to perk you up!

She is a really nice girl...she does know that I'm sick...I think I caught it from her last weekend...lol...
I just figure that you have to pull together to get thru life...so why not start out right. I'm happy to let him give her my ring...
