He came over on Monday. I think he did appreciate it as he told us about looking at one this summer and almost buying it but when he went back for a second look he realized that there were a number of worn and frayed spots. It was also funny that he found a piece that had a bit of writing on it - the word giggles. He has a funny last name and when he was a kid apparently the other kids called him Giggles. I must admit I am glad to see it gone.
That's the best part of the story! It was meant to be for him. I'm glad you got it out of your way. Sometimes we are finished and other times we are just done. Sounds like you were done-done!

I just know the thing, whatever the thing is that is in the box, it will be needed exactly a week after the box is gone.
Yes! I get this. I hold onto everything which makes me crazy too - but this has happened more than just a few times! So glad someone else relates to this!!
