Here is a copy of a cool thing I got to be part of this weekend.

One of the projects was for Barb and Ralph at ShadowFax Jewelry. I've been making additions to their website and Barb has been making a ring for me. Actually, the ring was for Zoe.
Last night I picked up the ring, came home, and called up Zoe to ask her to go rowing. (I live on this little lake called Honeymoon Lake.) She was busy and didn't want to come until I said "pleeeeease". I picked her up (15 houses away) and we launched the boat from my back yard onto the lake. It was probably the most beautiful evening we've had on the lake. It's been hot but the lake was in shade (it was a little after 8 in the evening) and the water was like glass. We rowed a little way out and then Zoe said she wanted to row. I said that first I had something to ask her. I pulled the little white silk brocade covered ring box out, held it out to her, opened it up, and asked her to marry me.
I caught her completely by suprise. She said yes. We then rowed up, and then down, Honeymoon Lake while she tried to start breathing again.
Here is the ring.


It's in two pieces that interlock. Zoe is wearing the one with the larger diamond and, before the wedding, Barb will solder the two pieces together. When the two pieces are together, there is a little gap on the inside of the ring. Barb, as a wedding present, will put a small diamond there when she solders the rings together. Thanks, Barb, for a work of art.
