It wasn't terribly expensive, but it was one of a kind. While the jeweler was working on it, a man came in and asked to use the bathroom. The jeweler escorted him behind the counter. When the man left, the ring was gone.

I've often wondered what happened to that ring. Was it given to someone? Resold for drug money? Where is it now? I also wonder about the history of the ring before I got it. I bought it in an antique store in Oxford, England. Who wore it before I did?

I'm not sure if the story that came out of this would be a mystery or an historical novel, but it might be interesting.(less)

History Lessons from a Walk in the Maine Woods

 



I recently got back from a wonderful month in Maine. Myhusband and I rented a house right on a lake, and we spent a good portion ofour time in the water. We kayaked, and my husband learned to paddle board,which turned into great fun when the grandkids discovered they could use theirPopa’s board as a diving platform.

But we did other things, as well, including touring a charming, small rai

A little dated (lots of cream of mushroom recipes) but in some ways timeless old cookbook. Some of the recipes are definitely a Maine things, while others are solidly mid twentieth century.
