The Ring
The Card
The beautiful card
The Quote
Jim's favorite sonnet
Inside the Card
Wow, was I surprised!
The Ring
The ring is made of purple heartwood, the lowest band is olive (there is an olive tree in my parents' backyard)...
The Beautiful Ring
The upper band is maple (a maple tree in Jim's mom's backyard), and the middle is pear (a pear tree in our backyard)
I said "probably"
So I get to wear it!
The Purple Heartwood
The purple will go with most of my wardrobe!
The Olive
My dad used to brine vats of olives from our tree. And I used to climb it - it was a cool place to hide!
The Maple
The Maple tree in Jim's yard has a cool wooden face in it!
The Pear
Our pear tree totally exploded with flowers the day before Shakespeare's Birthday!
The Ring
Years ago I told Jim not to even think about proposing until he knew exactly the right ring to get me.
The Right Ring
He knew.
