To all the moms – Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday. And as always, a great big thanks to Bev at How Sweet The Sound for another wonderful Pink Saturday giving us a time to share all thinks wonderful and PINK!

I’ll be spending the day with my mom who is 90 years old but still sharp as a tack. We’ll be going to visit my dad in the hospital. We had hoped he would be in the rehab facility this weekend, but looks like it will be next week sometime.

My wonderful son surprised me with a floral bouquet. He had told me that he was expecting a UPS deliviery the other day. Since he’s at work during the day he usually has his packages delivered to my place and not his condo. He called me mid-afternoon the other day and asked if the package had arrived. I said there hadn’t been a buzz but that I’d go out and look. I figured he was getting a new phone, or camera, or something for the computer.

I was so thrilled when I opened the door and there was a box from Pro Flowers. How sweet! I nearly dropped them on the floor while trying to thank him on the phone and open the box. They are so nice and come directly from the field, not from the florist. They aren’t fully bloomed and even this morning the bouquet seems to be growinig.

Here’s some photos of the beautiful flowers. Oh, and he even made sure to order a pink vase – so that I could post it here for Pink Saturday. What a great kid.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms, Grandmas, Great-Grandmas, and the special people who aren’t family but have been a mother to us.

I got a call from my mom yesterday. She got the card I sent – a cute one with Snoppy on the front. I’m the kind that likes mushy sentimental cards, but Mom likes the funny ones. My parents live in Florida in a really nice retirement complex. I don’t get to see them very often.

Today has started off very nicely. My son took me to see the 11am showing of Star Trek. He knows I don’t like crowds and don’t really enjoy going to the theatre, but after a good talking to myself I screwed up my courage and went. And I’m very glad I did. It was a great movie and a lot of fun to do something with Dave.

On a side note, he’s been through a lot with me and anxiety attacks, agoraphobia, etc. But he’s always been patient. Couldn’t ask for a better son and it makes Mother’s Day very special.

We stopped back at my place to pick up Bootsy “da pup” as we call him. We then went and picked up lunch, and now it’s nap time. Oh, and watching the Cubs, of course. Tonight we’ll put in an order for pick up at one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and watch the finale of The Amazing Race.

All-in-all a very nice and enjoyable Mother’s Day. Hope yours was as well.
