Those are great GC scores, Pixie!! Half the fun with GCs is browsing and deciding what to buy. One of the gift cards from my son is a very generous HD gift card. I love gift cards, but for some reason DH thinks they imply little thought. From where I'm sitting with retirement budgeting, I'd much rather have a GC than 3 sweaters that don't fit! lol Hopefully, you can exchange them, Marilyn? The pain about that is that the return policies from stores make it a hassle and you usually end up with less than the original gift was worth.

I LOVE that granite bench, Songs!! And it sounds like you gave a lovely gift to the family, JoAnn, and got something very nice in return! Enjoy!

Here is one of my presents from Hank.....the Mexican Talavera Urn. Now I get the fun of putting together a nice group of plants to go in it. He also gave me tickets to a Feb. performance of a fun show at the Repertory Theater (one for him too). So now we have a nice cultural event to look forward to in January (South Pacific Broadway touring group) and this one. We have tons of family and friends' visits this Jan, Feb. & March, so fortunately, the theater outings fall in the off weeks.
