Birthday/Mother Day Greetings

My Mother's Day began yesterday when I received some greeting cards in the mail, and a package too!! How exciting, cards for birthday and some for Mother's Day. It means a lot when my "chicks" remember me. Cards with pictures are especially nice, and if you know me, you know that I cherish pictures!!! You can never have too many of them, especially of those far away that you don't see every day or week. The package contained a beautiful card, as well as an album of pictures of the grandson and great grandson :-), with beautiful written notes by the granddaughter. Then today, another surprise, 2 dozen long stem roses, in different colors from my grandson in North Carolina. They are very beautiful. So thoughtful of him!! And another card with pictures of my great granddaughters!!!!!!! And the week-end is coming up with dinner at my daughters!!!! Since I know she is especially busy this time of the year, well who are we kidding, she is always busy, it means a lot to me that she takes the time to have me over for dinner. I am glad summer is coming, and it will give her a break from the hectic schedule that she has all through the school year!!!!!!!! My husband gave me a beautiful ring, an emerald that is surrounded by tiny diamonds set in a 14 karat gold setting. I was surprised, as I thought I had seen the last of "new" rings!!! What a guy!!!! I didn't go to the senior center for the May birthday celebration, as I was helping the husband fix a board to go over a table to support my latest buy at the local Discovery shop. A really nice floor shelf. I have seen them for more, and I now have it in the living room and it is full, finally got some of those treasures from the "storage" room!!! Yea!!!!!!! I will have to be more selective in the future, as I am running out of space for sure!!!!!!!! Yea, I know I always say that, and I fully intend to abide, oh, did I say there's a flea tomorrow, wonder what I will find!!!! It is the hunt that is exciting and getting that treasure for pennies. I can't help it, I am addicted to fleas, and estate sales, they are so much fun!!!! Ta Ta Antique Rose
