Symphony Table Runner

Eighty-four-year-old Canadian Mary Grams remembers working in her garden when her engagement ring suddenly went missing. She and her son did a thorough search, but it didn’t turn up. “I cried so many times,” she said. She bought a cheap replacement, which her husband never noticed. That was thirteen years ago. Five years ago Mary and her husband celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, and shortly afterward he passed away. Then last month Mary’s daughter-in-law was harvesting carrots on the family farm and found one wearing Mary’s lost ring. I feel a sense of déjà vu writing this, because this spring I shared the story of a Swedish woman who pulled a carrot wearing HER lost wedding ring http://mombowe.blogspot.com/2017/04/magic-stars.html . I did a bit more digging (See what I did there?) and discovered an 82-year-old German man who found a carrot wearing HIS lost wedding ring last November. Lesson learned: if I ever misplace my wedding ring, I’m planting carrots.
