The BIL comes through
I'm sure you all were anxiously awaiting the report on my shopping trip with the BIL this weekend. To my great shock and amazement, he came through like a trooper.
I told him we had picked out things in a variety of price ranges and started showing him them from the top. He gasped a little at the sapphire earrings so I moved to the next step down. When we got to the third level down, he got tired of looking and asked me which ones she liked best. I told him the sapphires. He ended up getting the sapphire earrings and a matching sapphire pendant. I was shocked; my sister is going to be speechless.
All this is more amazing given the latest bizarrely cheap story my sister told me. When they first bought their house, my BIL didn't want to pay for garbage service (a whomping $20/month). He thought they should burn their garbage in the fireplace and then take whatever else couldn't be recycled to throw in the trash at work. So my sister has to pay for garbage service out of her spending money.
