Reply #11: I helped clean the house of friends [View All]

It was one of those situations where there wasn't really anything I could do to actually help solve the problem that was happening in their lives. I couldn't think of anything else to do, so we rolled up sleeves and cleaned house.

I've flown friends across the country for birthday surprises - specifically, flew my husband's best friend up for a surprise on his birthday - and brought a friend from Florida to Washington for Thanksgiving dinner when she didn't want to be alone. I once found for a friend an antique piece of jewelry that she believes was once hers in a past life. I've done splashy and showy and big, but the clean house thing comes out on top.
