Wedding band lost in snow at Christmas time, finally found after late thaw

Dan’s gold wedding band has been on his finger since 1969.    He lost it while setting out a Christmas scene in his yard last December.  Snow and cold, not to mention a late April blizzard made searching impossible, but Dan waited until the thaw.   Finally, on April 29th, I received an email asking me to look.  I drove to his home around noon and found it in 45 minutes.  I never saw such a big smile.  He didn’t feel complete without his ring back where it belonged.
