I am not a dollar store shopper but his mother is.  On this trip home he took her to the dollar store and found some of the things I love.

I can’t believe a bag full of English Lavender soap and Secret deodorant would melt my heart.  These two things in the surprise bag means he thinks of me and the things I love and do.  I can never have enough of this particular soap.  It makes our house smells good.  I put it in my drawers, in my couch cushions, under the pillows of my guest bed because it’s soothing and a wonderful smell.  And to find these smaller containers of my only used deodorant in 50 years is wonderful. The little things he thinks of and brings home to me just warms my heart and makes smile. My retired groom gets a big kiss and I’ll forgive him this time for forgeting our hometown Philadelphia Chocolates.
