Bananas



Once when Seth, Carly and I were making the trip home to Cincinnati from Charleston, SC we stopped at a grocery store to get a bite for the road. It was breakfast time and I was probably trying to impress Seth by making him think that I ALWAYS made very healthy choices. He was waiting in the car with Carly as she was just 2 years old. It is hard to load a toddler in and out of a car much less try and manage one in a store! I came out with a bunch of bananas. As I was approaching the car, the look on Seth's face became more and more strained. It was as if I had 6 heads!. When I got to his car window, I said "What"? and he said, "Why did you buy so many bananas"? I replied something about just thinking they would be a good thing to have for breakfast, and he said, "But, there are only 3 of us". It turns out you can break bananas from their bunch. I NEVER KNEW THAT!! SO he wasn't looking at ME like I had six heads, just like I had 6 bananas!

My Review of 'BE THE CHANGE' NECKLACE

I sent the following gift to my bone marrow donor along with a card that said "You live your life the way everyone should. Your unselfish gift has given me 7 more years and counting. I love you more than words/gifts can express, but I want you to know, when I saw this quote I immediately thought of you. May all your good come back to you. I love you Vicki, Maggie"

On the 14th of July I am celebrating 7 years post bone marrow transplant. I am forever looking for the perfect gift for the woman who unselfishly gave me a 2nd chance at life. I think this is the closest I have come. She emailed me as soon as she got it in the mail and said that after she finished crying, she put it on immediately and loved it. She isn't easy to shop for and normally doesn't like jewelry, but she was so pleased with this. Thank you!
