The Surprise Inside

I don't know if I mentioned that Ron carried the little CrackerJack ring he gave me in the 1st grade on our wedding day.  He put it in his shirt pocket and when he read the vows he had written to me he pulled out the little ring and said "today I'm replacing this little ring with a wedding ring".  Now........is THAT romantic or what??????  It was amazing that we found the ring at my mother's house.  She had it in a jewelry box tucked inside a little envelope labeled (From Danise's first boyfriend)  How cute is that?  

After the wedding was over Ron was passing the little ring around to people who wanted to see it.  Now remember that ring is about 56 years old and low and behold the little plastic star on top broke off.  This about killed Ron but last night he surprised me by handing me a little heart shaped ring box and the little ring inside.  He had taken it to a jeweler to see if he could reattach the plastic star back on the ring and he did.  So now we have it safely tucked away for another 56 years.
