The VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) gave my husband a surprise.

They sang Hapyy Birthday to him, had a little candle on a cup cake, and gave him a Mylar Balloon filled with helium. They also gave him wine and a gas gift card. The gas gift card will come in handy for volunteering for the VFW and Civil Air Patrol since he doesn't have a job right now and the price of gas has gone up. We don't drink alcohol, so we'll give it to some friends who have done a lot for us that I know are moderate drinkers. They offered to take it back, but since we know someone who could use it and they would have to buy something else creating more of a hassle for people in their 70s and 80s, he said no we can find a way to use it. If no one wants it, I can cook with it. We just don't drink the stuff. So have you ever been surprised on your birthday? Have you gotten presents that were right on the mark like the gas card? Have you ever gotten a present that is a little off the mark like alcohol to non-drinkers? Are you gracious no matter what the present? Do you consider the thought?
