I...I love how you've shared your week this way. It feels so private and personal and romantic. Your story about the rings is wonderful . That your husband gives you a ring to celebrate each decade is so lovely. My husband would have missed our 10th anniversary if I hadn't reminded him and he also wouldn't have thought to give a gift, but I said to him 'You are buying me this beautiful antique ring for our Anniversary' and he did. :o) It is my most treasured piece of jewellery. The pieces with memories are so much more lovely then those without.

For my engagement ring, I have my paternal grandmother's 25th anniversary set - given to me when she died...I waited 15 years to find someone worthy of that love to put it on my left hand. As my wedding ring, I have his great grandmother's wedding ring...the family story is that she loved her husband so much she married him twice. The divorce and great grandpa's need to disappear are family lore tied up in the Emmett Till murder in the Mississippi Delta and quite the story in and of itself. On my right hand, I have my maternal grandmother's wedding set. I wear it to remind me that marriage is about a commitment - even when it's hard to stay and might be easier to leave. None of the rings are worth much - we come from poor, simple people - but they mean everything to me. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing with us at Photo Friday!Pierced Wonderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617985868261454643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055889616423195136.post-59322719827775087772015-11-08T10:24:09.183+01:002015-11-08T10:24:09.183+01:00Your photos are always an inspiration.

I am the same way, I only wear my marriage bands. Very minimal jewelry, very occasionally a simple necklace. I too have three rings that are symbolic. A wedding / engagement / and 10th anniversary. I wear two of them all the time, the third for more special occasions. <br />Wonderful photo of your pianist. Lilly has been playing more in the evenings lately, and I am loving the sound. She's playing saxophone in the school band, and her musical learning is growing! amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055889616423195136.post-27784386007018368362015-11-08T01:59:02.435+01:002015-11-08T01:59:02.435+01:00I love the tradition of the rings in Norway and I ...I love the tradition of the rings in Norway and I think it's special that you wanted to observe this tradition. Our wedding rings are so important and symbolize such an important commitment to both our husbands and to God. I love the shot of your son playing the piano; just perfect. I hope you are feeling better soon. I have had this same junk now for a week and I am so ready to get over it...I too hope this is the last for me for awhile....I hope you have a blessed Sunday....Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977147960900342156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055889616423195136.post-18358260848031939662015-11-07T23:08:17.199+01:002015-11-07T23:08:17.199+01:00Your photos always make me want to linger - perhap...Your photos always make me want to linger - perhaps sip some tea with you, Nina. I once took my wedding band off in a big city store where I was testing some hand cream. As I was shopping in another store down the street, the young man who had helped me in the former store, rushed in to hand me my ring. I could not believe his integrity and my luck. Since I'm so active and often wear gloves (gardening and biking in summer) and skiing in winter, I often keep my rings safe in a jewelry box and only wear them when I dress for something special. The wedding ring signifies a promise - my promise is 49 years old - I hope not to break the promise or lose the ring. Take care and feel well.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.com
