I agree with that philosophy.
I love that! That is how I like to live. It is sometimes hard to put it into words, but that movie star put it well ... whoever is was. I hope that you don't mind, Mary Beth, I just put it as a signature.

I am all over that! (Not the celebrity part of course, the experience part.) We've been doing that for gifts for our folks for a few years: Gospel Brunch plus a day at a museum; luau and whale watching for their trip to Maui; etc etc. It all started when years ago my mom forever endeared herself to my hubby by saying "What I really want is to go to a Cubs game." It took several months to fulfill that Christmas gift, but we all had a blast!
