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)

Maple Pecan Pie


I'm in Maine right now, enjoying a summer vacation in a lake-side cottage, with lots of time for bobbing about with the grandkids.

My husband mentioned lately that he craved a pecan pie, and I would have made one for him, except I didn't want to go out and buy a load of ingredients that I wouldn't use up in the next two weeks.

So I improvised with what I had around. My first substitution: using
