When done, I turned on the garbage disposal and heard clank clank. You guessed it, one of the stones was gone!

I was a secretary there and one morning while opening the office my hand got jared in the front door of the entry hall. I felt my ring getting jared. As I looked down at my hand my stone fell out. I always wear a Tanzinite stone that we purchased on a cruise to St. Thomas.

We thought that their pre-schooler had dropped it down the toilet after I had showered. His cousin and family moved several years later and they found my ring inside the bathroom cabinet underneath the very bottom drawer. It took a strange bounce when their son knocked it off the bathroom counter. Ravengirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761473551410517900noreply@blogger.com
