Carrot Got Your Ring?

A fun story

This beats November’s story all hollow: a Swedish woman found her wedding band a full sixteen years after she took it off and set it on the counter during some Christmas baking.

And clearly she was meant to find it, because it came into her hands right out of the ground, where a carrot in her garden had grown through it.

Isn’t that incredible?

Read the story - and see a picture of the smiling couple and the crazy carrot - here.

No thank you, Ma’am ... No, really, I don’t want it ... Please, no ... NO BALL! GO AWAY!  NO BALL!

It got pretty ugly.

But birthing ball or no birthing ball, the end result of that labor of love was well worth every bit it cost me.... READ MORE
