As most of you know Neal and Sarah have been going through a bit of a rough patch lately (OK, there marriage is a total MESS)
Anyway I thought it might help if I asked then to open my Diorama swap together
I asked them to wait on the chair while I brought my Diorama gifts to them as they are quite big!
(Humm… they don’t look to close at the moment! This might be harder than I thought)
OK, so these are my gifts and the card and I hand them over
“I’ll open the card first” Says Sarah
“ Here let me help you” Neal offers
“Thank you, but I can manage” Sarah replies
“ Oh! (sings) frosty the snowman…..”
For which he receives one of ‘those’ looks
The card is from Amy Nardone
OK, present time….
“WOW! Look it’s the most beautiful carousel! Sarah says with a catch in her voice!
Neal can’t help but lean forward and kiss the top of her head!
Sarah jumps away like Neal had just hit her…..
“ Sarah, please! God what have we done? We are in such a mess!”
I jump in here and offer up the other gift. This is soooo not going as I’d hoped!
They open the second parcel
“It’s a dining set!” Neal exclaims
I’ll open it for you. Maybe a nice dinner for two is just what you need?
Neal and Sarah settle down to there meal. With the added extra of a sweet little puppy!
The puppy is the ice breaker. Soon Sarah and Neal are laughing at it’s antics. The meal is good and after a while they start to chat with ease. The first time in a VERY long time….
Amy, Thank you so much for my gifts!!!!
