On Valentine's Day. I'm getting dumber every year. Surprisingly, the mall wasn't as crowded as it should have been, but it looked like a tsunami had hit it just an hour or two ago. I went to three jewelry stores and saw the huge lins of men waiting for service, so I gave Filene's Basement a try. Their jewelry counter was barren.
Mom has no money, and has never had any nice jewelry.
LilBro and I try to get her something fairly decent every once in a while. For Christmas, he gave her a delicate gold necklace, but she doesn't have any real gold earrings to go with it. She was over at BigBro's house, giving Valentine's Day gifts to the grandkids, so I had to wait around for a while until she got home. It was worth it, though. When she saw the earrings, you would have thought I paid off her mortgage.
