Nice Holiday Surprise

A few days ago I was working hard (not hardly working)! My biceps muscles were getting a workout while vacuuming our nice new plush carpeting. I had worked my way through the house as was down in the very back bedroom - OURS. I moved a few things around and was working on the last little strip by the bed. Stored under the bed are cans and cans of food storage, mostly wheat. So I vacuumed as far under as those cans would allow. I bumped into something that sounded hollow and well, different. I took a peek and what did I see? A shopping bag from Macy's.

I looked inside the bag. Inside was the nicest, shiniest, newest, bestest cheese grater ever. It was the item I had described in detail to Doug that he could get me for my birthday or Christmas. When it didn't show up for either of those momentous events in December I put it out of my mind. I put it back in the bag and tried to forget about it.

But the next time I had to use the old trusty rusty cheese grater I decided to mention my finding to Doug. Upon my mention of the hidden treasure his response was that he had gotten it for my birthday or Christmas but promptly forgot about it. Upon his insistence I retrieved the tardy gift.

Tonight was the first chance I had to use the grater. It worked like a charm and I am very glad to have it as "A Nice Holiday Surprise". Thanks Doug!
