Blast from the Past

Hello again. A former employee stopped by the counter on his way to Las
Vegas. We finally met the wife who made goodies around the holidays.
She was pretty too, for an elderly woman with colored blonde hair. His
wife was an avid baker apparently. If he brought a dozen, he said there
was 5 dozen at home. Some of us wondered why she would bake goodies for
strangers she never met, others just ate. I liked her Christmas
cookies.

At another job, a wife would buy stuff for her husband's coworkers. I
questioned once if she did all these nice things to make up for her
husband's annoying behavior. Nobody liked that coworker. It is one thing
to gift to people one knows, another to strangers one has no contact
with. Motives get questioned under the second scenario.

I make holiday cards and often include pencils for their young kids if I
have plenty of extra. I never gift to spouses. Why?, they don't know me.
Kids love anything given to them.
Post later. Bye!
