A new wedding ring!

Amy and I took our daughter to Ft. Worth this weekend to acquire point shoes (my daughter is a budding ballerina). We had a grand time, and I came away with a new prized possession: another wedding ring.
A brief history: I handmade Amy’s engagement ring. Then we had her grandfather (quite a hobbyist jeweller in his day) make us matching rings. Mine was, unfortunately, stolen out of a hotel room when we were on the road with 100 Love Sonnets.
Amy bought me a ring soon after that I dearly love. And I still have it. But we went to the Modern Art Museum in Ft. Worth and we found another one. So now I have two!

My second wedding ring, purchased after my first was stolen from a hotel room in Abilene, TX.
