You don't even need to go out. I think they must have UPS & Postal drivers at every corner. I ordered stuff this week that came in two days, even when it was marked 5-7 days. I honestly can't believe how quickly some of this stuff got here this past week.

Maybe you should invite her to Spring Fling 13. She seems like one of us. Perhaps she could give a talk on how to live a long life and "really" enjoy those "golden bourbon years".

Send her a bottle of Makers and after drinking some of it.... she'll feel like she was 60!

I have adult nieces and nephews. They are on the gift receiving list until they are out of college. The last one is in college now. In return for his gift (which my sister picks up) my sister gets us a gift. She bought me a set of pretty glass coasters that have an insert for a pic. I have one with a pic of my granddaughter, my grandson, Thelma our cat, and the S2000. Very cool.

She also gave me a box with various decorative items for the holiday seasons. It's a hoot. A snowman for January, a heart candle for February and so on. Small items which I can put on a hutch. She decorates for every occasion and I tease her about it. This was a thoughtful creative gift. I left the box out so I can take a pic and share it.
