Mine just did again (ARGH and I'm trying so hard to downsize!)

The truth is over the last years, they've managed to think of clever gifts I never dreamt of (Geek Squad membership, Netflix and Amazon, Teamviewer Signup, Spotify, iPhone, Lithium battery jump starter, electric blanket, flowers - of course - clever kitchen and quality fruit, computer gadgets, Kindle and more, some quite expensive...

BUT the list really is getting short as either I have everything I need (and then some!) or it's something I myself need to pick out. (If only they had room to home some of our loved heirlooms and memorabilia, but alas, both are still sharing apartments the one with no added storage!)

Found this which really says it all (Just sent it to them both, along with a few suggestions as they pleaded so - rechargeable Black and Decker 18 volt batteries?? Roll Eyes But mine really did just die! And I so depend on my dust-busters.)

They're coming for two weeks soon, one from SF the other from Boston! They call, email and text almost daily - one sends loving cards, too. What more could I want (except that they lived closer by! *sigh*)?

(It's the big item on the far right. Sorry - as usual, I'm at a loss to post it so it doesn't require clicking...Frowner )

A friend of mine posted this on FB a few days ago and I thought ..."YES!"

I tell my kids, I just want time..time with them.

Stuff is so NOT what I want.

I hope you get what you desire, Amanda!
