I’m a bit rough on wedding bands………………….

 

 

Or maybe it’s just because I’ve been married for a very long time…………………

I guess both are true.

My hands get smashed regularly.

Rope burns from lead ropes and/or chains are not uncommon.

 

 

I have yet another major puncture wound in my left palm from a fall onto a welded metal panel next to the pig sty…

WHY are all of my severe hand gashes in and around the pig sty!?!

And to make it worse I needed to shuck a bunch of oysters at the Lobster Party right afterwards…….

But Paolo to the rescue——-he brought a surgical glove for me to put on under my left-hand’s shucking-glove……………..

 

……….my hand appears to be healing, but with no help from the pig poo or the dregs from the bottom of the North Atlantic sea.

 

 

My first wedding band was at a jewelers for repair………….but surprise, the company went quickly out of business and I could never get my ring back………….

My second wedding ring got smashed here on the farm, along with my hand.

My hand healed…….

…….my ring wasn’t so lucky…

I have really good feelings about my third wedding ring.

Paolo and I were married in 1977………….and yes, it was “that” long ago…………..remember the polyester-era?…….photos on Qiana dress shirts?…….snags on trousers?…….platform clogs?…….*****A Walk Down 1970’s Lane*****

I discovered this wonderful artisan just up the road here in Florida……….he makes rings out of coins……….any coin.

I chose a 1977 U.S. quarter.

This nice man also did a ring for me out of a British 5 pence piece from the same year.

I don’t have pretty hands…………but they work hard.

I’ve stacked both rings on my hand.

They’re sturdy…………..I have a good feeling about these guys.

I think they’ll last.

Third times the charm.
