My friend’s daughter was recently married and moved far away to live with her new husband . Thankfully there is email, or else my friend would be devastated that her daughter is so far away . Her daughters husband is the biggest sports freak I have ever met . Baseball is his favorite sport and he happens to favor teams from California . He told me that he once went to fifty games in one season . He travels from Los Angeles to see the Boston Red Sox or Los Angeles Angels, to San Diego to see the Padres, to Oakland for the Athletics games, and also to San Francisco not to miss a Giants game. Since he is in business for himself, it is easy for him to make the time to travel. Mary knows how much George loves going to baseball games and thought if she could get game tickets for him in her home town, every time a California team played there, George could bring Susan with him and she would have time to spend with her daughter while George enjoyed the game. She found an on-line ticket sales site the offers the lowest possible prices for all sports tickets. George was thrilled with the thoughtfulness of mother-in-law and Mary and Susan with thrilled they would see each other more often.

This is a great day ! I just made points with this new gal I met in the grocery store. We were both in the produce aisle and I innocently asked her if she knew the best way to pick out a cantaloupe. She assisted me generously in looking for cantaloupe . I didn’t see a ring on her finger so I figured it was safe to make conversation and see if I might have a chance at dating her. I noticed what was in her cart and asked for her opinion on a certain brand of frozen food. She must have felt a connection too as we ended up talking in aisle four for over an hour. This store has a coffee shop in the front and so I asked her if she would like to join me for a latte or something. She seemed very excited about it and we sat and talked there for another two hours . I can’t believe how well we connected so we made plans to go to see San Antonio Spurs play. I was amazed when she informed me that she had attempted the previous day to purchase tickets for the exact game . We exchanged numbers and gave each other a hug goodbye . I went home and got on-line and was able to get the San Antonio Spurs tickets. The best part of the day was me calling her to let her know I had tickets, I have never heard a girl so excited about anything . I think this is the start of something wonderful! The only thing that is wrong with this situation is that I dislike cantaloupe .
I never know what to get my twenty-eight year old niece for her birthday. If I want to buy her clothes I would definitely have to take along one of her friends, as I am a lot older, therefore have different taste than she does . In the past I bought her the predictable presents such as jewelry or gift certificates, or little figurines . I would love to get her something unique . I think I might this year, I overheard her talking about this one singer and how amazing he was . She has never been to a concert of his, but has every single one of his CD’s . I guess she tried buying the tickets but apparently the box office was slammed that day . She tried all day but every time she called the only thing she heard was the beep beep beep of the busy signal, she was so upset that she couldn’t get through . I have some neighbors that know exactly where to get tickets online for cheap, even if they are impossible to get . They never had any problems purchasing tickets online and always got great seats . I went next door to ask my neighbor for more information and together we got on-line and ordered two tickets for my niece. My niece and her friend were so thrilled and so was I that I was able to add to the joy of her birthday.
