So before The Eldest left, I did a bit of shopping for her. Picking up things that she would need to set up her new home. Kitchen things. Mixing spoons in her favorite color, pink. A cheese grater Dust pan and brush, envelopes and stamps, duct tape, a pink tool kit. Mattress pad, pillow protectors, a duvet cover similar to a quilt she saw at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Some things, I had extras of like measuring spoons, mixing bowls, a hand held mixer I used once, towels.
They weren't big things, but added up would save her a bit of money that she would need for bigger purchases. A bedroom set, mattress, microwave, toaster oven, vacuum, washing machine. My mother started me off this way, and now my turn to pay it forward.
Me: (as I lugged in another bag of stuff ) Man, is she expensive!
Himself: I seem to recall your father saying the same thing about you.
Yup, pay back's a bitch.
Oh yes, she sure is a bitch, but a good one! It's good to have a helping hand to set up a new home, luck girl that she has you! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYup, it helps to have an extra pair of hands to lug bags and boxes. Thank God she has a first floor apartment.
DeleteThat was nice of you and your mom. Those are useful things and I am sure she appreciate its. I assume you got everything in the car last week when you packed up. :) Hope she is settling in and you are enjoying your time with her. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI got everything to fit in the car, and still able to see out the back window. She's been having fun playing house. Cooking, doing the dishes. I'm enjoying having my meals prepared and I can leave dishes in the sink! :-D We spend evenings on the sofa watching some favorite programs. Doctor Who and Chopped.
