Thanks for the advice, but the situation has resolved itself. I elected to tell her about the check. Then she elected to present me with a gift certificate from the gun store (she has no purchase permit so she couldn't buy it herself) in the amount of the M&P, and told me that it was my gift for our 25th Wedding Anniversary next week. I have a feeling I'll be spending the bonus check at the jewelry store!! Not sure where she got the money, but who cares?!? What a woman!!!
You are a lucky man !
