There are a few stories that I am looking forward to blogging in the next couple of days. This weekend was adventurous and entertaining, to say the least. I was encouraged by a colleague to blog this story first.
On Sunday, after church, my mother-in-law, Diane, who was down visiting us for the weekend and to see Tyler's show (more to come on that later,) took us to brunch at Cracker Barrel. As you know, if you've been to Cracker Barrel, there are many neat little things you can buy. Well, I love Christmas angels. They are part of my favorite things to decorate, and Diane knows that very well. We were both in awe over these three fiber optic angels in a set. They sing all in unison and are triggered by infrared light. Just beautiful.
Unfortunately, there were only two sets left. Diane decided to ask the sales staff if they could put them (one for her and one for us) behind the cash register counter until after we ate so we could pay for it all together. They, of course, said no problem, we just had to give our name.
Do you know what? Someone apparently overheard that they were the last two sets, and told the cashier that they were us. ....And gave our name....and bought them... So when my mother-in-law went to pay, the angels were gone! What kind of people would "steal," so to speak, our angels?!?!?!?!? I thought it was crazy.
Fortunately, the girls made a mistake and there were a few more sets in the back.
Oh well, tis the season!!!!

I can't believe the things people will do to get what they want. I'm happy it all worked out and you still got your angels. Something weird.. my mother-in-laws name is also Dianne (with 2 n's).
