I was on a Mommy related message board the other day and there was a thread about what you wanted for mothers day. Generally I don't care if I get gifts or not, but since it is my 1st mothers day, I kind of wanted to be special. I posted that Hubby and I were out a few months ago looking at the Pandora bracelets and that I would like one with a mommy related charm, but since Si lost his job it really is not in our budget.

So I got an e-mail from the moderator for the site putting me in touch with a lady who owns a store that sells the Chamilia Bracelets and that she would like to give me one and a charm. So I went in today and met the lady and got my first Mother's day present. It was so generous, I have been a bit down with all that has gone on in the past couple of months so it really made my day!!

She was super nice, and even took our number down and she is going to reach out to her network to see if anyone is looking to hire someone. She has several contacts with construction/roofing and landscaping companies, and after the storms last week, there ought to be a lot of work in those areas. The world needs more people like her :star:

That is so nice of her - yes, we do need more people like that! I hope her contacts come up with some work for your husband as well.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
