We received more than we gave. Here’s how:
We received $100 in gift cards and gift certificates, $8 in tips and two pounds of gourmet coffee.
We brought home a huge bag of leftover bakery gifted from work: at least $40-50 worth.
We gave out $70 in tips and spent $40 on gift cards and $70 at the bakery for family and friends.
We got a $20 store credit from Williams Sonoma and $25 in statement credits.
This morning, we had breakfast muffins from the bakery, a cheese omelet, coffee and mimosas with orange and lime juice and Prosecco. Ron has been playing some gorgeous Classical CDs.
As Ron put it, we have no stockings, tree or decorations to take down and no tinsel and wrappings to clean up: just our outside lights, which we’ll leave up, probably until New Year’s.
I made beef stew yesterday and a salad this morning. Worked on the rope wreath.
We went for a late afternoon walk at Sandy Neck beach.
