    Default surprised gift card

    Just wanted to share my nifty surprise. I often take care of my neighbor's parakeet and cat on weekends when she is out of town, well she asked me to watch her critters this weekend. I do it because I really like her and want to be a good neighbor. Well she surprised me with a $25 gift card to a local vegetarian resturant (which I love!) called Dharmas along with a simple card of thanks. Feel like I won a major award!

    That was nice of your neighbor. You are a good neighbor too by helping out with the parakeet and cat.

    That was very sweet of your neighbor to give you the card in appreciation of your help. You are a good neighbor.

    That was nice.

    We finally got our $200 visa card from Comcast. In March when we signed up for the triple play after 3 months of payments we were to get a visa card. We finally got it last week. It only took a few months extra to get it!!!
