Mother’s Day

Sunday, May 8

Our four children are good about letting me know they love and appreciate me throughout the year, and on Mother’s Day weekend each one usually calls, stops in with a gift, or sends a card.

My gift from Deb & Roy was the first to arrive when FedEx came on Thursday with these beautiful roses from Pro Flowers.

They are beautiful and smell fabulous.

There was also a small box of chocolates included.

My very practical daughter Diane, found a good deal on these six bottles of Wisk. I will sure appreciate this in the weeks to come.

By Saturday evening my table was full of pretty things.

Left to right: a beautiful photo from our oldest granddaughter Elizabeth. It was taken during her trip to Thailand last year. The Chrysanthemum was from Jere, the roses from Deb, another beautiful flower to plant outside – from Jeff (I’m not sure what it is called). In the front there is a dishcloth from Mark & Diane, and several very kind cards. I particularly liked the nice notes from our daughters-in-law Chris and Kristen.

Jere’s card (with the bear) was cute:

Mom, you’ve always given me good and sensible advice!

And believe me, one of these days I’m gonna use it!

Thanks everyone. God has blessed me with a fabulous family.
