cute! you commented on my blog about wedding rings. i had no idea that it wasn't the "norm" for all cultures. interesting! thanks for sharing.
Hi Tricia...yeah, I wear my wedding ring on my right hand because we were married in the Russian Orthodox Church, but many other countries, Norway, Germany, Bulgaria, etc wear it on their right, it doesn't say anything specific about engagement rings, here, but I thought this was interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_rings
Fab page! Do what you must if it is hot, I say!!!
I wanted to ask you what "cards" you were talking about in your previous post?

Precious photo! My son is a free spirit. As soon as I we get in the car or get home, off go the shoes. If I'd let him, he'd streak around all day!
