I looked in the jewelry box.I looked in the toilet bowl.
I combed through the kitty litter...thrice.
I looked in the cats' food dish.
I searched in the dishwasher.
I poured the coffee out of the pot...no ice.
I gently shook Mookie and FuBu.
I cleaned off the dining room table.
I emptied the vaccuum...no bling.
I crawled on my hands and knees.
I cleaned out the fireplace.
I got ashes in my face...no ring.
Where else can I look?
How 'bout in one of your books?
Sure 'nuf that's where the ring was nesting.
**********************************************
This is the book in which I found my engage-
ment ring: Mars and Venus Together Forever by John Gray. I wasn't even reading this book at the time. However, I teach Interpersonal Communication (relationship skills) courses so I always have a stack of relationship books around the house for reference, and my ring apparently hid out in one!
One of my neighbors suggested perhaps the fact that the ring snuggled into the crevice of this particular book was a sign that the book has something special to offer us. If that is so, I wished I had paid attention to the pages between which the ring was tucked.
Buddy and I both agree that we will read this book together and keep it on the shelf with our treasured photos and mementos.
