Graham's Punishment

Ok, I don't know how many of you remember how Graham lost his wedding ring last year.. But he lost it while we were tubing on the cold Weiser River in Idaho. Yes, the ring was probably found by Smiegel, who became so obsessed with the ring, he turned into Gollum... but you already know that story.


So anyways, Graham lost his ring again. He was helping some young men at a Scout activity in a cold lake that were learning how to save themselves in a canoe that had been swamped with water. The boys started freaking out, so Graham (and another Young Men's leader) jumped in the lake to help save them. So in the dark, cold water, Graham's ring awaits a new owner. Someone who will appreciate it.

And this is his punishment for losing yet another wedding ring:


Isn't it hideous? It says "Always and Forever", and yes that is a heart with a cheap stone in the center. Thank you Wal-Mart.

Graham got off easy though.. The other leader lost his wallet in the lake, with an emergency $100 bill in it..

I hope you had good insurance...we used to have it. But stopped renewing before Anna lost her ring...

Do you even have renter's insurance?

Yes we have renter's insurance, but we wouldn't use it on something as small as this--his ring was only $90.

You should get one that has writing on it that only appears when it's put in fire. That'd be awesome.

Confession time - I lost my ring. Well, that is, Anna did. She took it out of my ring box and put it who knows where. Grrrrr. That was months ago. Went through all the trash (yes, really), searched everything I could. Still hoping it'll show up some time. In the meantime, I'm trying to squeeze on the wedding band. Gotta love baby fat!
