Holiday Spirit at Macy's

Just wanted to post a short comment about something nice that happened to me last Friday.

I was running some errands and had seen an ad on TV for a big One Day Sale at Macy's. One of the items on sale was a roaster pan (for $ 5.99) and we needed one for our Thanksgiving turkey. I wasn't sure I'd read the price right, so I went by Macy's on my way home to find out if they had any of the pans and if they were really that inexpensive. Once at the store, I waited my turn to speak to one of the salespeople and ended up talking to an employee named Angela. She told me that yes, they had a roaster pan at the price I saw on TV (the regular price was $ 20.00), and walked me over to the area where the pans were. I was about to ask her if I needed to come back on Saturday, the day of the sale (this item was one of their "doorbusters") and if maybe she could put one on hold for me until then, when she said "I'll take care of ya", took one of the pans over to the register, put another barcode sticker on it and rang it up at the sale price. We wished each other "Happy Holidays" and I went on my way with a smile on my face.

Don't know if Angela was spreading holiday cheer a little early or if she does this type of stuff year-round, but I know that her small gesture made my day!


Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

PS: Thanks to those who participated in the M&M poll, and I guess we had an overwhelming majority (of 3 votes) who chose Peanut. As an avid dark chocolate fan, all I can say is you're missing out!

Halloween Pictures (and poll results)

Well, as you may have seen, 3 out of our 5 poll voters predicted Andrew would bring back a pile of stinky laundry, and that's all he brought back! He's disappointed over the lack of elk, deer and any other worthwile prey, but he still had a good time riding horses, doing some male bonding and getting to see some of eastern Idaho country. He took a few pictures, and we'll try to post them soon.

In other news... yesterday was Amber's first (real) Halloween. Let's face it, she was only 3 weeks old at Halloween time last year, so she didn't care about much other than her bottle, a clean diaper and a lot of sleep. We only went trick or treating to a couple of the houses in our neighborhood, but still got some good stuff, and Amber got her first taste of M&M's (loooved them, by the way). Here are a few pictures...

Happy Halloween, everyone! (and don't forget to take the M&M poll at the bottom of the page)
