Hope everyone had a great weekend and a nice Mother’s Day. I actually got my stuff together and mailed cards/gifts to my mom and the MIL last week and UPS delivered both on Friday. Jen being organized? Scary. 
Yesterday Girl and I enjoyed a mother/daughter lunch out at Panera’s on the patio and then some window shopping. Then Girl had a book to finish reading and a book report to write and I churned out several pages myself.
At least we were working together.
And since my DH has been extremely busy with work the last couple of weeks which would preclude his tiny non-multi-tasking mind from thinking about what gift he and Girl might get me for Mother’s Day but since I am a fabuloso Mom, I took care of that for him.:mrgreen:
Rare Red EndODay Ring
From a site in England where an 1850s bottle manufacturer would toss scraps over the cliff. They would mix different colors of molten glass at the End Of The Day, and this fascinating piece is the result.
I’ve wanted a piece of the Victorian red glass ever since I read about. I love the idea of wearing a stone that has been shaped by an ocean journey that’s tossed it about. When I saw this ring was my size…and Mother’s Day was fast approaching…and the DH had obviously not devoted even half a brain cell to a gift…well, I helped him out. It’ll arrive this week. I can’t wait!
The ring is gorgeous and SO you!!!! I can’t wait to see it next time I see you. :mrgreen:

Love the ring! And sometimes it’s best to take care of stuff like that yourself. That way you get exactly what you want. :mrgreen:

It “spoke” to me, Rhonda — more precisely it said, “Buy me and wear me.” :mrgreen:
Kimberly, it is often much better to take care of stuff like that. Right size…right color…right gift. :thumbsup:

WTG, Ginger. :cooldance:
Marily, it’s really sort of your fault. :fryingpan: I’d been looking and then when I saw your lovely piece at the Reader’s Luncheon it was just added impetus. :mrgreen:
