Good Saturday morning.  Glad yesterday is over.  We were supposed to meet our small group members to eat an early supper out at a favorite place, Val's.  Early on, two more couples and one single  canceled which  would have made 7 of the 12 of us, so I called the restaurant and canceled our reservation.  After that, the day went downhill even more.  At one point, Howard said, Don't be mad at me, all I did was get out of bed this morning!  Not true, but he's a man and clueless for the most part.  So rather than us two eating out at Val's by ourselves, we went to Culver's, (HIS favorite), then got much needed groceries.  In the grand scheme, this is nothing, so please forgive me for being petty. 

Tom, next door, just came over and they need to borrow H.'s pickup to move some furniture from here to nearby in Michigan for their son, who rented a trailer but had no vehicle with a hitch to pull it.      I'm sorry to say this, but he is the dumbest young man we've ever known.   Then Shena came over.  She'll drive because she's the better driver.  I'm not tooting our horn, but we always lend them or anything we have that they need.    However, our Honda has an appt. on Monday for a drive train repair and we will need the truck.  Hopefully, all goes well...

Devonne,  Moissonnite  is suppose to be  the creme de la creme of the diamond substitutes.  Supposed to be even sparklier.   I have good luck with one of those jewelry cleaning cloths.   You can get one at W-M for about $6.   

My wedding ring is a plain 14K rose gold  wide  band with a diamond in a bezel  setting, so it sits very flat.  The diamond was a family one so we used it  in my ring when we  had our rings made by a local jeweler.  Because I'm left-handed, I didn't want a high setting that would catch on things. I wore it alone for years, but always wanted to add a narrow band set with smaller diamonds.  About 14 yrs. ago,  I spotted exactly what I'd wanted (set in rose gold), and on sale.  So now I wear the two together.  On my middle finger, L. hand, I also wear an antique wedding band engraved with an over-all pattern (so old that it's mostly worn off) from the late 1800s  that belonged to the mother of an elderly, childless family friend who willed it  to me.   It is the same rose gold as the other two,   I have two other narrow  yellow gold wedding bands--one an antique from that same person and a plain 18K one that my stepfather, a meter reader who walked his route found in the street in Lafayette, IN, where he and Mom lived.   It's the only 18K gold I have ( or will ever have! )

I need to get my supper in the crockpot.  Doing country ribs in BBQ sauce.  Have a good weekend.

I have never named a machine (I have 10) nor a car? 
   We went to the furniture store again today and added another recliner and a table and chairs for our lower level.  On the way DH said he was sorry he stuck me with the Edge instead of the X5 BMW I wanted. 
    On the way home there was a detour because of two transformer fires.  We had no power when we got home.  Only out for a few hours but still a nuisance.

Judy, I'm surprised he would ask to borrow Howard's truck since they're not family....and to go to Michigan?

Cheryl, they are growing up! Can't believe she is already 12. You sure do have a hard time growing anything with the animals eating your plants! I have one of those silver polishing cloths in my Amazon shopping cart, but I'll check Walmart's price.

These are the rings I bought. The first one is a genuine Moissanite. I might buy a matching band later. I really like it. Will see how it holds up. I got the opal one hoping the silver across the top will protect it and keep it from falling out. I think the "diamonds" in the opal are cubic zirconia.
