A few months back, I sent two travel/spa pillows to my in-laws in a rushed attempt to beat their plane. They were leaving in a few days for a cruise to Greece and I thought Priority mail would get these gems to them in time. I was wrong. That made me kinda sad, but you know, it’s the thought that counts, right?
Fast forward to this afternoon when my 80-ish father-in-law calls to chat with IZ. As he closed off the phone call he says, “Make sure you tell Wende, we love the pillows.” Â At this point my mother-in-law can be heard in the background saying, “We carry them from room to room.” And then he continues with, “Yeah, I love mine. I could never watch TV in bed because it hurt my neck, but with this pillow I can watch all the TV I want.”
Yeah, that’s me, contributing to the delinquency of an octogenarian.
You’ve established a new category my love! Kindle rests, puppy pillows, laptop support, and now the TV viewing optimizer. Surely world peace will ensue as we are all inundated with scents of lavender and balsam as we pursue our daily tasks…

Yeah, I’m considering rebranding and calling them the “World Peace Pillows”. 😀
U r so lucky to have sweet inlaws.

They try very hard! ~W
That’s wonderful–and if watching TV is delinquent, I am a very bad girl.

Not so much TV, as TV in bed. It’s kinda bad for your sleep. 😀 ~W
What I find about most octogenarians is that if they are delinquents now, they were delinquents then… 🙂 They are also more likely to indulge in delinquency because they don’t fear consequences. “Who’s going to scold me? Hmm? That’s right. No one. ‘Cause I’m 80. So there.” Octogenarians are awesome.
The important part is that they are using and enjoying the beautiful pillows. Right? Right.

I’m so surprised that they are using them. When they first got them, you could tell they weren’t so sure. Hee. So, I’m elate that they’re getting some use of them. Nothing worse than getting a present you don’t know what to do with and won’t use! ~W
Agreed, Carly 🙂 I mean, they could be carrying around those awful rust-colored corduroy pillows from room to room and WHO WANTS TO SEE THAT?

Looks like I’ve derailed a possible pillow disaster! ~W
That’s adorable and a great testimonial for your pillows!

It is!! ~W
Ah yes…pillows in which to make TV viewing better? Now THAT’S the gift that keeps on giving the whole year through! Good work…

I probably would sell more of them if I marketed them as TV pillows. Hee. ~W
