Joann's Black Friday
Let me start out by saying that I did not go this year. About 12 years ago I asked my DH to go with me. It took a lot of convincing and bribing but he went. Flannel was $0.99 and I needed several yards for Christmas gift projects. DH stood in the cutting line while I picked out my fabric. He got so much attention from the other ladies in line, telling him how great he was and how they wish their husbands would do the same.
The next year, Joann's had the same sale and he asked me if I wanted to go again! We skipped that year but went a total of 3 times before he got sick. He passed away 7 years ago yesterday at only 55 years old. I smile whenever I think of Black Friday at Joann's. :)

I think my DH is a gem but not sure he'd stand in line at JA's - you had a special 'gem' and he left you with special memories - God Bless! "B"

Re: Joann's Black Friday
What a wonderful guy. I know you must miss him every single day. I'm so sorry he died and left you at such a young age. This hits close to home for me having two good friends lose their husbands at 39 and 40. All I can say to our friends here is cherish your loved ones and never take them for granted. One never knows what lies ahead.
