Daughter's & SIL's gift to us

Hi Grandpa Bob Wow this must be the week for great things for us. I just found out that the trailer that we was trying to rent we have been choosen as the renters. I know how you feel about gifts from your kids. Im so happy for you. My son here about three christmas ago had gotten me a Grandfather Clock. I had been wanting one for years. It was a big surprise when he came in with it. I cried and laughed and hugged and then cried some more. I was totally surprised. It is a wonderful feelling. You continue to have a great week and as always keep smiling my friend.

I hope you guys really like it. Just gonna be pretty basic but hey its a finished room at least.

Well isn't that a sweet deal, now that's a gift you could never put a price on!!! Good for you guys I think that's fabulous truly. As for myself the best gift I have ever recieved was from my daughter. As most here know I only have one daughter and she and her hubby have two kids, boy now 8 and girl now 6. My daughter took all her baby clothes and donated to goodwill except for certain items which she hired a hotterite lady to make a most beautiful quilt for my bed from patches from my grandchildrens clothing. When the quilt was finished and ready to give to me my daughter asked the kids to get up on her bed then she covered them up with the quilt and placed a sign above the bed that read: These were the clothes that kept my children warm, may they also keep you warm Grandma. I will never forget the tears of joy I had and I love the quilt far more than money could buy Anything.

How exciting. That is a great gift. Every gift from family is the best gift ever but those that are hand done are the best of all.

Hm, right now I'm thinking about the coupon my sister gave me for a massage....

Wow that sounds like a great Christmas gift, I am glad that your wife is going to be able to exercise without watching eyes. I always exercise when my family is out of the house because I too get embarrassed if someone is watching. I would have to say that the nicest gift a family member has done or gotten us was a gift card that allowed us to take a weekend cabin vacation for the family....all we had to worry about was spending money. It was a nice vacation

That sure will be a wonderful gift to you both when they get it all done. I have never had anything so nice give to me by my family before. I have received nice gifts though but nothing as big as that. Wat to go.

That's very generous of your daughter and hubby. Not only is it useful to you now, in the long run it increases the value of your home. Enjoy.

What a great gift!! So glad to see you back here. It's been a long long time since I stumbled across one of your discussions. I think this is such a cool gift. You guys are going to love it. I look forward to seeing the progress!

Wow Grandpa Bob!! That's awesome!! Gee, you're not loved, are you?! LMBO! Naaaaa not in the least bit!! Well, good for you!! That's what I call real love for another!! That's really cool!!

oh Grandpa bob that is an easy one for me.as you know I am stuck here in this retirement center because we were evicted after my son lost his job and we ran out of money so my son had me put her so I had a place to live, and he is in gov.sponsored apt. so he and his fellow roommates can have an address and look for work. so when he got my computer and monitor out of storage and when he helped me get on the internet, it was the best gift he could give me. I was once more able to mylot to all mylot friends and my did that just make me a very happy camper. I think that is a fantastic gift from your daughter and son in law, good going and happy posting back at you. hatley here.

Hey Grandpa Bob! I think that is the most wonderful idea for a Christmas gift! That is such a perfect gift! Your wife can have an exercise area and you can have a guest room so the grandkids can stay over! I can't wait to see it all finished! That really was a great idea and having them do all the work is even better! That really will be a gift that you will be able to use all year around! Nice going whoever thought of it! You really have such a wonderful family! I'm still waiting to be adopted!

That is such a nice gift and wonderful thing that your daughter and her husband are doing for you and your wife. Be sure to keep us updated! Would love to see the finished result and I like everything and anything that my family gives me for any occasion. Thank you heaps for sharing and remember: Keep us updated lol Happy MyLotting. -AidanKay.

that is a brilliant and very thoughtful gift.

Hi there Grandpa Bob That is so good of them to do this for you I hope that you will show us a Picture once it is all done

That is a great gift. Your wife will really enjoy the exercise room. Having a spare room would be great to, so when your wife gets mad at you, you have a place to go lol. My husband and I had a great Christmas gift last year from my daughter and her hubby also. We had a free vacation to San Diego in January, Loved it there. I think My hubby and I will be getting the same gift this year. Yeah, San Diego here we come.

hi, A lovely gift from your loved ones. It is a great feeling if someone gives you such a gift. I never felt any thing special till now as when ever i get a gift from my loved ones i feel it as special and best one. Though in future they may give something very best then also i may feel like that only.

What a wonderful gift! I'm sure your wife will love it, you are very blessed to have such children! The best gift I ever got was an Int'l Field Studies trip to the Bahamas when I was in high school, way back in 1972. We had no money, but somehow I went. It was one of the best times of my life. I found out about ten years ago that it was my brother who paid for it and he swore my mom to secrecy. So I finally was able to thank him for it! I hope you and your wife both enjoy the basement, you deserve it!

What an excellent surprise, GB! It was a great idea of your daughter and her husband - I'm sure you'll all get a lot of fun fitting out the new room and enjoying it afterwards. I can't think of the best gift I've ever received, as my family always think of lovely surprises - but my husband once filled a huge box with screwed up Christmas wrapping - and in between all the bits were book vouchers for my favourite bookshop - about $500 worth of them! It was hilarious trying to find them all, and our four children were little at the time and enjoyed jumping in and out of the box and all the scrunched up paper!

oh that sounds just wonderful!! the best gift was given by someone about to become my family member my late hubby gave me an engagement ring and a proposal for christmas best gift i ever got. so, anyway, you have to show us the finished room.
