That is absolutely beautiful @Blackcats, what a thoroughly lovely thing to do
I went for the option of merely messaging four women but that's my age group's version of calling! Good to make an effort just for a hello every now and then rather than waiting until you have something to say. No-one's ever been offended by being told their friend or relative was thinking of them and wondering how they are, have they. A good reminder to do it more often
So tomorrow we have Fiiiive Gooold Riiings
I'm thinking gold hoop earrings, my grandmother's gold wedding band, a glass of white wine or beer, and the gold ring of a lit candle2 -
5 golden brown fried onion rings?2

I don’t own any gold … can’t make myself wear it. Dunno why but I have always had a very strong aversion to it since I was a child … odd huh? 😉
Instead I am wearing all the moonstones - slightly waterfall earrings and a large tear drop pendant ❤️🌕

Definitely counts @Blackcats, as long as you're not buying unnecessary things instead of enjoying what you already have!
The moon is a type of gold ring @KajiKita so moonstones absolutely count 😁2 -
