Engaged! 10/21/08

While in Annapolis Dick gave me this ring to make it official! He had planned to give it to me during the Raft-up with SOS, but the weather was so bad that weekend(10/18), we were unable to Raft. The weather had turned so cold, I decide on Tuesday I would make soup. So, he gave the ring to me after we finished a bowl my First Cold Weather Vegetable Soup. Every fall when we would have our first blast of Winter, Dad would make a big pot of Vegetable Soup. He would call me over to pick-up a HUGE mayonaise jar of soup for me and the kids to have for dinner. Dad treated Mom like she was a Queen, and in that way Dick reminds me of my Dad.
