My Grandmother the addict

[edicehouse]

We lost my grandfather just over 2 years ago. My grandmother has become a real addict for my pens. LOL. Lastnight I had to stop at her neighbors; the neighbors son was there (an old friend). Well his mother had messed up a cigar he bought from me (nothing major), and I was going to fix it. After that I went to her house sat with her a while watching TV talking to her. Well I had a cigar pen in my pocket and took it out; just messing with it. She leans over to look and sticks her hand out. I hand it to her, well that one was bought by her (at a huge discount); then joking I took another out and said what about this one? OOOOOO I love this one. She refuses to "take" any, because she doesn't want me to lose money. . . But I about break even with her on what she buys.

(PS bored at work)

Well you can trade them for some homemade cupcakes so they are not free anymore

Hey remember if you have an outback steakhouse close by, they are doing free blooming onions.

Those are a great gift for an older person, they really appreciate the usefulness of a letter opener and the glass. I've tried to make a nice desk holder for the 3 pieces, maybe put a piece of felt on th bottom of the Magnifier cavity so it doesn't scratch the glass

I have been looking for a "set" the best I found is one from PSI. Does anyone else have an idea for a set maybe with a slightly bigger glass than the PSI one?
