Before I tell you about my exciting night on Tues.  I just have to say that it's 10:30 am and it's only 68 degrees outside!!!!  It's a preview for fall I believe!  yesterday was so hot out and today we get this beautiful break.  Only going to be in the 70's today with NO humidity. :)  makes me happy.

Anyway,  on Tuesday night the youth group had a bon-fire and I was asked to chaperone for a bit.  No problem.  I had to bring Rachel over anyway and it's only 5 min. from our house.  AJ was working and came late.  The group decided to play a big game of soccer so one of the girls, Paige, asked me to hold her ring while she played.  It was a cute silver ring with a small diamond.  Very dainty.  I put it on my pinkie finger and proceeded to roast a hotdog and a smore while the kids were playing.  I ate my food and sat by the fire enjoying the evening.  Every so often I would place a log on the fire.  At one point, I was talking to Abby, Paige's sister.  She had broken her leg and couldn't play soccer so we were talking by the fire.  I put another log on and felt the ring slip off my pinkie!  It was getting dark and I couldn't see well.  I'm using my phone to light up the area.  That didn't work too well.  We are searching all around and can't find it.  I run up to the garage to get a flashlight and I'm telling Abby that I'll just have to buy Paige a new ring.  I said, "Where did she get the ring?"  Her reply..."My mom gave it to her.  It was her diamond from her engagement ring!"  WHAT!?  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  Doesn't that just figure.  You try to do something nice and look what happens!  Well, you'll be glad to know that I found it! :)  What relief.  It was under some ashes but I saved it before it melted.  Can you just see that!?  I thought for sure I was going to lose the hotdog I had just eaten.  Nice huh?
