How the Home Depot guy made my day
My Christmas tree, compliments of the Home Depot guy in the tree lot who cut the trunk, trimmed the bottom branches to fit my tree stand, strapped the cut leavings to the tree, wrapped the tree in netting, carried the tree to my car, and loaded it in. What a sweetie! Made my day! Okay, so I used my Woman’s Card. But if I could have done it by myself…
