RM app on Monday

Haven't had one of those in a while. Wasn't available for the requested time but they reset it to a time I was. Called the BO and she says "Honey, I just don't care when you come as long as you come. I don't get any visitors and I'll just be glad to have somebody over to talk to." Oh yah, I remember these apps. LOL Sweet little old lady, and I'm sure we'll have a good little visit Monday evening. Monday is Valentine's Day. I bought her a heart-shaped box of Valentine's candy...cheap and nothin special...just some Russell's assorted chocs. Not giving it to her until I'm walking out the door though! LMAO She sounded like she needed a buddy Monday so just gonna make it a little more special. I charged $25 more than what they were offering so I guess you could say the difference in the cost and the $25 was just extra profit on the chocolate! LOL J/K Just one of those things that a real small cost just kinda makes you feel good inside, if you know what I mean.

Have a great weekend all! Gonna hit 70's here Sunday after being 4 degrees yesterday morning! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

JJ :-D

Nah, just in it for the profit! LOL

She said her husband died 17 years ago, and none of her relatives live here. It may have been that long, or longer, since she got a little box of candy for Valentine's Day. Just seemed like the thing to do. :-D

My little lady was tickled, and I DID wait until we were done to give it to her. LOL Actually it went pretty quick. Had I known it would have gone that quick I'd have bought her a bigger box. LOL

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Headed out with the masses for a little. My Darling awaits.

JJ :-D

We have some fab chocolatiers here locally - use them

often. Many signings are repeat borrowers, like neighbors...and simple little treats are fun additions to these familiar households, and first-timers alike - especially for traditions.

One borrower's Mrs started her business - My Petite Sweets - last year, and is delivering Dad's Navy-themed neopolitan with raspberries cake tomorrow. Can't wait.
