Rings and Things

Today was our last day to visit Ed and Julie and the kids. We went over in the afternoon and traded photos. Then we all headed to the jewelry store in Grapevine where we would see "the RING." Julie's parents rode with her and the kids, and Ken and I drove our truck. Ed was coming from work to meet us.

Ed is giving Julie a new wedding/engagement ring for their tenth anniversary, coming up in a couple of weeks. They custom designed it and used gold and stones from some earlier rings, plus a new center stone. It's lovely, but they had to send it back for a minor repair (one of the small diamonds had fallen out and needed to be replaced). It should be ready in time for the big day.


Then we all went to Uncle Julio's in Grapevine for dinner. It's a fine dining Mexican restaurant with Vegas glitz. Ed used to work there.

We got home in time to do some preparation for the move tomorrow and to read for a bit. It's always hard to say goodbye, especially to the little ones. Jesse was smiling and flirting with me as we left.
