Nice. That showed real appreciation. Depending on the sales price my "Thank you" gifts range from $100 to $500. That would go along way at an LBS.
Even if she did the needlepoint herself (I don't know) it wasn't really a good fit for us. We're not religious (in the classic sense) and I hate all that kitschy country [censored] people clutter their houses with.
When my ex- and I bought our house our agent remembered that Cheryl loved this banana hook that the previous owner had on top of their fridge. Just a stupid, simple kitchen accessory but when our agent gave us the exact same one it was more important to us than her other gifts of champagne and I forget what else. My ex-mother-in-law would have loved needlepoint but we would have tossed it in the trash.

That's what we did after taking the frame to put something else in (or re-gift, I forget which).
My buddy got a bottle of Patron from his Realtor (for the very same house that I got the needlepoint thing for - different Realtor). If I had gotten that I may have used one again for the next transaction!
That's exactly what I try to do in my business. There is no point in giving someone something that will end up in the trash. If I have done my job correctly I will know what someone will truly appreciate and that is what I give. My referals and repeat business reflect this.

I'll let you know if I ever plan to move to your neck of the woods. We'll probably see that when Hell starts seeing temperatures like Gunnison's.

Just funnin ya a little. And what would AMB be without ragging on its own??
Have a good one.

I took it as such and was funnin myself a little. I always enjoy the ragging, especially if it's my expense. If a can't take it you certainly have no right to dish it.
You have a good one as well my brother, stay warm.

Yesterday morning we were at -36, but I didn't ride (except my townie to work - that hurt). It did eventually warm up a bit and we ended up with a high of 1.

Matt (brrr - it's been a cold one this year)
Brutal. That's all I can say.
Especially since my ride home from work this morning didn't even require a wind shell.

I got a new big puffy down jacket for Christmas and I've worn it almost constantly since!

Exactly the same for me here, I love the puffy jacket. Today was much warmer though, so I rode the road. Probably (and hopefully) the last time for a few days at least, come on snow!!!
Matt, we are interested in a long weekend skiing at CB, any suggestions on condos?
