This year's special. My wife and I are celebrating 40 years together on
the
23rd. I'm going nuts finding the right present for her. You can only
imagine
how busy I'VE been this week!!! :-))

Say what you will about them, but this is when those goofy little
lists put out by jewelers come in handy.

Rubies, Dudley. Give her rubies. That's what the fortieth calls for.
Beautiful sparkling red rubies (set in gold to prepare you for your
fiftieth, golden anniversary).

Happy anniversary, happy holidays, and happy new year!

Mary

Thanks Mar, and the same and very best to you and Ken!! I wouldn't be
surprised if there's a ruby in the mix somewhere. From what I'm hearing
lately though, I might not live long enough for the 50th :-))
