Distance Didn't Stop This Lady's Determined Holiday Giving


--by Painiacs, posted Dec 21, 2016
Gave even more thought of what to give a friend for Christmas, who is elderly and disabled. She lives in another state. Like me, as we get older, we don't need anymore "stuff", and she's too far away to visit. I called a grocery store in her area and purchased gift cards for groceries. Since neighbors are doing her shopping they are for groceries only, no buying alcohol, tobacco ot lotto tickets.I had no idea you could do that!
