We can all give back...start with a smile. It may mean little to you but it could mean everything to someone else.

However, when she gave it to me it was actually a pendant in a gorgeous setting! It is special because it matches a ring that she wears and is a very close match to my birthstone.<br />perrianne (DOT) askew (AT) me (DOT) comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-29069038829380344452019-11-11T13:56:40.489-05:002019-11-11T13:56:40.489-05:00Some dear girlfriends of mine threw a surprise bir...Some dear girlfriends of mine threw a surprise birthday party for me for my 50th. I might have figured things out if they hadn't told me it was a birthday surprise party for one of their husbands. They even asked me to bring food, which I did. I expected just three couples for that pot luck, and it was wonderfully disorienting to walk in and join the huddled group, as if the husband was about to arrive, and then to see people there I hadn't expected, AND to see the husband we were supposedly surprising. I was huddled with them for a second or two before they all yelled, "Surprise!"

I had a rural postal route and the mail was especially heavy that day. Friends and neighbors had gathered and left and gathered again. By the time I got home only the true blue friends were still there. I was totally exhausted but what a sweet surprise from my dear little girl!<br />tumcsec(at)gmail(dot)comGail H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07185778152672877614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-6728352968637638492019-11-11T11:17:26.590-05:002019-11-11T11:17:26.590-05:00Those are a couple of very fun surprises, Lori!

It was so out of character for my husband. I really enjoyed his creative efforts and the wonderful people who showed up. Second, I won a fairly large cash prize from a local radio station. They called me at work and I reacted in a way that showed them I thought someone was pranking me. It was great to find out that it was real. At the time we had 4 boys at home and lived paycheck to paycheck, so it was a very pleasant surprise. I'd love to read your new book. I love Christmas stories (Hallmark movie lover here) and I love looking for people who could use a helping hand in my daily life. lorigeorge[at]hotmail[dot]comLori91301https://www.blogger.com/profile/15263092800666166106noreply@blogger.com
