We had over 740 entries in our The Marriage Ring and Fragments jewelry giveaway, and prizes aside, thank you for sharing such amazing stories. I think, like Sarah Frantz said, that the jewelry we value absorbs so much good feeling and comes to represent so many good moments that it’s value can’t be quantified, whether it’s heirlooms from generations past or gifts from our children and grandchildren.

I have been looking at the stepback for Cathy Maxwell’s upcoming book The Earl Claims His Wife for a few hours now, and I can’t figure it out. Here’s the front cover: The Earl, in the stepback, to my way of thinking, is indeed claiming his wife. Take a look: Seriously, are they doing it? I mean, that’s one hell of an o-Face right there: So, I ask you - what’s your call? Doing it? Or just having a bit of an asthma problem? Swallowing invisible avocados? If you think they’re not Doing It, then tell me in the comments,…
