Mother’s Day
~~~
Part of me feels bad that our children and grandchildren think they need to get me something for Mother’s Day, but the other part of me enjoys it. 
There were promises of a “meal out” and “we need to do something together in the near future.”
A rose from church
Now a kind of funny one. This balloon was a Mother’s Day gift from Roy and Deb in 2020 – a year ago. Deb apologized for it because she wasn’t pleased with how it had been filled – thinking it wouldn’t stay up very long.
That became a joke all year, because it stayed up until about two weeks ago – gradually lowering until it touched the ground. I took this picture today before throwing it out.
That crazy balloon. I was so disappointed when it was down in my car the day after getting it on our way to you. I wanted something special because no hugs then and masks. Since it was mid pandemic (covid), the florist wouldn’t re-fill anything on the spot, so I brought it any ways. That ? proved me wrong! Lol.
Silly balloon.
The flowers and promises of outings are great gifts — but the best of all is the balloon that lasts all year! What a shame it couldn’t last just 2 more weeks!
It was always fun to show it to Deb when they came to visit.
