Blessings in Disguise

This has been a week of unexpected blessings. Dave drove over a screw, causing a slow leak in my tire. He took it to Sam's Club (where we bought our tires) and they patched it, no charge. While he was waiting, Dave mentioned to the manager that the 32" flat panel Vizio TV we bought from them over a year ago keeps flicking on and off at random times. Apparently this wasn't the only complaint they've had on that model, so the guy offered us an exchange. That took us by surprise, since it's over a year old. Dave packed our TV back in the box and took it back that same afternoon. The price has dropped about $400 since we bought it, so Dave exchanged it for a better quality Philips instead, bought the extended warranty, and still walked away with an $80 gift card for the difference. In the meantime, Dave has finished building our new backyard fence, spacing the boards so we can get more of a breeze, which means he can return the extra lumber for a refund. Now he's working on reorganizing Eva's closet so we can hang more baby clothes in there.
