Mother's Day


This will be short and sweet.  Am enjoying a very happy mother's day with two children, a sweet daughter-in-law and 3-year old twin grandson and granddaughter.

Flowers to plant (alyssum and impatiens), a variety of baking supplies (which I love), a candle and a back scratcher (my only request and no, it's not Jack...it's a lovely bamboo back scratcher from Jack)

And...you'll get a kick out of this...the wine?  Chosen by my 3-year-old grandson at Trader Joe's because of the happy face!  His sister "helped" open the cards...can you tell?  I just had to record that for posterity!

A Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and aunties and grandmas...all over the world.  We are kindred spirits.

  5. What kind of wine has a smiley face? Cute. Wish I had some grandchildren, but my sons won't co-operate.

  9. TechnoBabe, M. Hassan, blueviolet, Kittie & Judy...so glad you stopped by!

    Judy, the wine is a California wine...Project Happiness from Oreana Winery in Creston, California, near Santa Barbara. The wine is a Syrah and that's a nice grape so we'll see what they did with it. Even if the wine isn't wonderful, I think the bottle will be a keeper...for flowers or a candle.

  10. darlin, bag lady, zuzana...it's Monday morning, now. I haven't tried the Smiley Face wine, yet, but any wine with "Happiness" in it can't be too bad!

  18. I got a bang out of the way your card was torn open. It brings back memories of my own grandkids and the excitement generated by gift-giving!

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?

Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.

Thanks for understanding.
