Shh... don't tell anybody, but Hick has a plan for his harem of elderly women at the senior apartments. He's going to give them valentines! Not the paper kind, like a kid at school. Though the thought of that makes me smile: the little old ladies making themselves a valentine box, decorating it to impress Hick.
Hick is wanting to give them candy. A little valentine box of candy. He had The Pony and me checking around to see if we could find something suitable on our Errand Day. We found a little heart-shaped box of candy at Country Mart. It looked like the right size. Cost $3.99. Then The Pony looked closer, and saw that it only contained three pieces! That's not enough. Not for that price. The next larger box was $8.99. I don't know how many pieces of candy, but that's too much to pay for 10 elderly ladies. That's almost 1/3 of Hick's monthly salary, heh, heh!
When I was in Save A Lot, I saw a small heart-shaped box of chocolates. It was $1.69, and had five pieces. That seemed right. I bought one, and brought it home to show Hick. He was reading the back of the box, where it listed what kind. I remember caramel and strawberry cream. I told him I bought it as a sample, and that he could open it. To which Hick declared: "I'll eat that later!" Meaning the whole thing.
Anyhoo... I hope Hick goes to buy them soon, before the store runs out. I COULD do it, but this is Hick's good deed, and Hick's harem. I am not making a special trip to buy his treats.
Boy, I hope Hick follows up on his plan. The ladies will be thrilled to bits just to be remembered:) That is so thoughtful of Hick to think of doing that for his ladies.
ReplyDeleteIn typical Hick fashion, he could not find the candy at Save A Lot. He DID find a six-pack of beer, heh, heh. I suppose I'll have to go see if the hearts are there. I saw them on Saturday, and Hick didn't go until Monday. He's going to Walmart today, so might find an equivalent there.
DeleteI can imagine the ladies giggling like schoolgirls.
Aw, Hick! I hope the fellas don't get jealous! What does his number one valentine get on the special day?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I said! "Now the men will feel left out." I usually receive a valentine heart of chocolates. Sometimes a card with it. My birthday is around the same time, so Hick doesn't go all-out. It's fine with me. I don't need anything.
DeleteAt $1.69 I would have bought enough of them right away in case there weren't any left when Hick got there. I think it's a lovely idea, but what about the men living there? Do they also get chocolates?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know for sure if Hick would want them, or something bigger, so I just got one for him to try. He ended up getting some at Walmart today, before I went to town. So I didn't go check. It's possible he just didn't see them, as often happens with things right here at home when I tell him exactly where to look!
DeleteI don't think Hick has any plans for the men, probably due to it being Valentine's Day. Which doesn't seem fair.
