Ok, here's the plan

First of all, thanks to all who offered advice on how to handle the ring thing this coming weekend.

Ann, and WannaBeMom and Rebecca, I see what you mean, that doing it on the very day would appeal to my “J”.

Stacey, I like the way you think!

I hate to admit it, but Jeff might have something there, doing it at dinner, and Jennifer hit just the right note: suggesting sometime during dinner.

For me the whole thing would be the setting. If I waited until the following day, we’d be caught up in our Sunday routine of going to church, going grocery shopping. I suppose I could hide it in the frozen food section and have Kathy pull it out of the peas and corn in a kind of ‘celebrate the mundane’ of our lives sort of thing. But doing it at dinner, at a certain moment…that’s the ticket. I’ll have a little speech ready and the ring will magically appear.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
