My brother showed up Last weekand asked our hubby to go shopping with him.
- He wanted to buy a present for his partner, for their birthday.
I could not figure out why they would go out for a gift for our sister-in-law. The last present they bought her was a fishing pole our brother had been eyeing up for a year. He said he saved her needing to buy it for him, and it didn’t cost her any money. They went shopping last year when they had a huge sale at an old warehouse. It happened to be an abandoned HVAC warehouse, and they bought boxes of air filters that didn’t fit either of our HVAC systems. They also picked up an old canoe that leaked, and brought it home. It was still kneeling in our garage. I was distraught about what they may be bringing condo this week. The two of us didn’t need air filters because he was still chopping them to repair our HVAC systems and our brother’s. The two of us didn’t need canoes or fishing gear. When they finally got home, I didn’t see anything in the truck, and they weren’t carrying anything. I thought every one of us had dodged the bullet, and every one of us saved money this time, despite the fact that I was wrong. They had envelopes in their hands and they were waiting for our sister-in-law to arrive before showing them to us. They were grinning like idiots when Bess walked in. They had planned a getaway for the more than 2 us and they went to neighborhood to get the tickets before all the fine suites were taken. They bought tickets for ocean view suites on a multiple-month trip to the Bahamas over Christmas.
