Ring Description:

Vintage Sterling Silver and 3 Stone "Raspberry" Garnet Ring. Beautiful Sterling on this Unique Ring.

I Described the Color in my Title as "Raspberry"; I Would also Describe it as "Merlot Red". The Photos are Depicting the Color Perfectly, but I know your Computer Monitor May be Showing it Differently than Mine. So "Raspberry-Merlot Red" is my best Description.

The Ring Style has a Gothic Look to it.

Rail Buggy Ride

I absolutely love this photo! How happy they both are just to be together. Kenna (our Sheltie) loves my husband so much, she wants to be at his side no matter what he is doing.

She is not a fan of riding in the car, so I never thought she would ride in his rail buggy. First of all because it is sooo loud and second she just wouldn't like it. I did not like the idea of him taking her in it, but he promised to go slow on a very short little ride on the trails in the woods.

She liked it! When he came to a stop at the house she did not even try to get out...she just looked at him like, "What do ya wanna do now"?

I still don't like the idea, but he is very careful and loves her like I do...just thought it was a cute photo.


"Ms Kenna"



Speaking of dogs, I recently finished 2 great books: "Merle's Door" by Ted Kerasote and "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. I thoroughly enjoyed both books. They both were full of a range of emotions, which I like.













I do not recommend books if I do not know you personally, because I think everyone's taste in reading material is so individual and personal; but I will comment that I loved these 2 books.

I would not hesitate to say that if you love dogs you will probably also love them.

"The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. "...a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope—a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it".



"Merle's Door" by Ted Kerasote. " ....explores the issues that all animals and their human companions face as their lives intertwine, bringing to bear the latest research into animal consciousness and behavior as well as insights into the origins and evolution of the human-dog partnership".
