Hubby and I have been shopping for each other from the catalogs for many years. We each make a list of what we’d like from our favorite catalog or Amazon. The gifter buys a certain number from the giftees list. It is still a surprise opening presents on Christmas morning because we don’t know what our spouse picked from the list.
I got my husband a Jitterbug smart phone. He loves it because it has a function that lets him dictate his texts (he is legally blind and fumble fingered(.
I had a cat who would climb into the sink to eat the seeds and “guts” after we cleaned out a cantaloupe. I think she was attracted to the musky smell. Unfortunately, the seeds would make her throw up. We learned to run the disposal IMMEDIATELY before she could get after the stuff.
On Christmas morning: “But what about the gift list I gave you?” “We recycled it.”
