Jess and I had a marvelous time with Wes and Ellen Pate tonight @ the Olive Garden in Ft. Wayne.
We enjoyed a marvelous dinner and conversation with the occasional spontaneous laughter.
Following dinner we went to Glenbrook Mall to do a little investigation about my wedding band and what really was covered by the insurance I paid for when I purchased the over-priced jewelry.
Turns out that when that ring fell into the lake, so did the $300+ we spent on it.
I got sick to my stomach, instantly. I hadn’t really “felt” the brunt of what it was to lose my ring because in the back of my head I thought, “surely that insurance I bought for the ring covers losing it while riding a jetski…”
Not the case. Turns out that I would have had to have BROKEN the ring to have it replaced. Tell me how to BREAK a gold ring that is worn on your finger? Sure, maybe BREAK the ring while chopping off your finger, but am I going to seriously be worried about a wedding band when I cut my finger off? No.
Moral of the story: don’t pay for insurance on a wedding band!
Next up was “Seekers” – a coffee house in Ft. Wayne that’s only been open for about 3-months. Wes and Ellen had been there and we enjoyed a great long visit on some very comfortable couches.
Wes and Ellen pack up and move on Tuesday next week for their new lives in Tuscaloosa, AL. This was our last visit with them before they move some 10-hours away from us. Ouch.
They will be missed, but not forgotten.
