Wry smile here. My dear wife wanted to buy an auction her aunt's ring, sentimental reasons.

I thought the ring would make a great Christmas gift.

I teamed up with our son, and the auctioneer to not take her bids, and bid me in.

So far, so good. Now the fun, and games start.

She was dissapointed at not getting the ring she bought a watch from the person that booths that.

I did the small box in larger box thing, a dishwasher box last. She now thinks she's getting a dishwasher as a gift, and starts thing she can't live without a new one.

So, it cost the price of the ring, a new dishwasher, and the watch.

She's worth that much, and more though! Here's the ring.[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]
