[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 111620, member: 1233"] Oh my, this reminds me of an elderly great-aunt. This lady was amazing, but having gone through the Depression was the most frugal person I ever met. We would send her nice things - that fit, that often were just new versions of what she had and loved. She would keep them in a drawer or closet. Anyone who came over was shown all these wonderful things her great niece (my mom mostly) loved her enought to send. She would look at them and stroke them lovingly. While wearing the underwear that the elastic died on 3 years ago and was held together with several safety pins. Someday our kids WILL say things like this about us. I think it is our God-given duty to drive our children crazy when we become elderly and have the time to really do it right! Sorry your mom was so unappreciative, especially after all your hard work with the shopping. Susie [/QUOTE]
