I either hid them so well or they've been stolen... I feel really bad, but at the end of the day, they are 'things'... just 'things.' The gesture behind the gift remains whether or not the gift itself is there.<br /><br />(BTW, re: having my kids model? I don't really have strong opinions either way. I'm sure that my daughter would absolutely love to... and if it's reasonable enough a project (time-wise, compensation-wise), I'm open to it.)Buckeroomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408502555249594576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-68754197135134087072012-04-02T01:06:12.864-04:002012-04-02T01:06:12.864-04:00Anita, What a great story. Your Husband found you...Anita, What a great story. Your Husband found your treasure! I was in Chicago visiting a friend several years ago and while shopping, removed my wedding band (set with the original diamond of my engagement ring) and put it on a shelf while I sampled hand lotions. Of course, I forgot to put the ring back on my finger, and we left the store. The young male clerk who had waited on us found it and remembered my friend was pregnant. There was a maternity shop down the street from his store, so he took a gamble and came inside. That's where we were. When I realized what he was holding out to me, my adrenaline really rushed! I ended up sending a letter to his manager after I returned home and enclosing a check as a reward. I still think of him sometimes and am thankful he was so honest. Obviously, the ring has sentimental value to me - the diamond is tiny but it signifies (now) 45 years of marriage. I've learned to never take it off my finger except in my own home when I put it in the jewelry box!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-74593786043756819762012-03-31T14:06:33.216-04:002012-03-31T14:06:33.216-04:00I've lost so many things over the years, but m...I've lost so many things over the years, but most recently I lost a snowflake earring that broke my heart. It was a gift from my mom. It's always the ones that mom gives us that hurt the worst isn't it! I felt sure I'd find it, but I never did. At least not yet! <br /><br />I related to your telling of what would you take if you had to pack up. I've been through that scenario many times, the last time just one year ago when we were getting ready to flee a wildfire. It's really hard to pick what to take and you end up just throwing things in the car, with your dogs, kid, and photos. Later when you return you vow to be prepared the next time but it's so hard to do. Who likes to plan for those possible disasters!<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Julie<br /><a href="http://juliemagerssoulen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Julie Magers Soulen Photography</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773042400899326514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-7363835705339281512012-03-30T17:05:09.920-04:002012-03-30T17:05:09.920-04:00I'm sure someone has already said that your hu...I'm sure someone has already said that your husband would be the real 'treasure' in this story :) I am very glad you found the heirloom ring and now you can pass it on to one of your daughters who, hopefully, won't lose it.

Wow, so glad he found your ring. That is such a sick feeling to lose a treasured item. I lost a pearl hat pin given to me by a dear elderly friend and a triple band ruby antique ring...neither to have been recovered. I wonder if they were found and if the finder wonders about the history of them.SuziCatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889140153791941165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-88354223770098650502012-03-30T06:27:02.331-04:002012-03-30T06:27:02.331-04:00This post reminded my witty blog pal, Abby (see he...This post reminded my witty blog pal, Abby (see her comment above), of her lost ring story.

I would take photos and art, but now that you make me think of it, I have a family heirloom to take if there's ever a crisis too. It was my grandmother's ring, and her grandmother's before her. I had it appraised and thought it might be worth thousands, but the value turns out to be more sentimental than $, but I love having it and my birthstone on top of that :)Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-55471369282636182042012-03-28T06:43:53.357-04:002012-03-28T06:43:53.357-04:00What a great story and what a fabulous husband!What a great story and what a fabulous husband!People Who Know Me Would Say:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04621641188403948733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-35750984697487543912012-03-27T14:43:42.887-04:002012-03-27T14:43:42.887-04:00Oh wow!

So glad you found it! Just recently, my hubby was at work and took his ring off to wash his hands. He can't wear his ring when he's working so I'm not sure why he had it on that day. Anyway, he left it there. But he didn't remember it for days, more like weeks. He just thought he lost it somewhere. Then it dawned on him that it could have been left at work. He called the hospital and hooray! One of the cleaning ladies found it and they still had it!

I've been trying to downsize and get rid of stuff since I have too much. It's been a slow process.<br />My most missed items were things that were stolen in a couple of vehicle break-ins where notebooks of writing, pictures, and audio tapes were taken and in all probability tossed in the trash since they would have probably been of little use to the thief. I think about those items now and then even though it was about 30 years ago when they were stolen.<br />Glad you found your ring.<br /><br />Lee<br /><i>The Dog Lived (and So Did I)</i><br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blogArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
