(2,682 posts)into the 21st century -- she gave me a thing -- the box says Amazon Fire. I have no idea what it's for or how I would use it. She said she would help me figure it out. She loves hers (?) More importantly, she gave me 12 tickets to the 2016 Seattle International Film Festival. I went to 28 movies in the Festival last May and will probably go to as many next May, so these tickets will be great!!!! A huge box of European Chocolate cookies from my son-in-laws parents (I gave them 2 boxes of those little cups with coffee in them). A candle holder for my bathroom. And my favorite: FRUIT CAKE!!! (yes, really).
And the best gift of all, the Republican, Christian, Palin-loving, conservative, gun-loving, fraternal-order members (son-in-law's parents) said they PREFER BERNIE!!! I was deeply appreciative and somewhat surprised. They had many negative things to say about Trump and Cruz and their condemnation of Islam (not all are out to kill us; more threatened by white Christian males). Never thought I would hear all that from them.
