It's funny that my favorite store (Moultonborough) is being discussed on the forum today since we were just having a laugh this weekend about something I purchased there back in October. I kidded that I will have to take a drive up there (325+ miles) to get a refund or exchange on a $6.50 item. Every fall, we stop at the store to get our supply of maple syrup, jams, etc. to take back to NJ to last till our mid-winter visit in Feb. or March. One of the items I bought was a linen calendar depicting a covered bridge. I get one of these calendars each year to hang on my linen closet door. Last week, I finally got around to opening the box and went to iron the new one to replace the 2009 calendar. I couldn't believe it -- the calendar was for 2008! I guess when they restocked the shelves this one got shoved to the back and lucky me, that's the one I picked up. I have no receipt -- when you check out, the person behind the counter lists all the items in pencil on the back of the brown bag and adds it all up on the bag. Wonder if they would believe me if I brought it back. It's still perfectly folded as it was in the box along with the dowel and string to hang it. Oh well, I guess I will have to buy another 2010 version when I visit in a few weeks. But we had a good laugh about it.
