Mother’s Day 2008

Yesterday started out to be a very good Mother’s day before the torando warnings.  I awoken and saw Brian and Tom hiding outside the kitchen window.  There was a gift on the table with some cards.  I knocked on the window and asked them what they were doing.  “Happy Mother’s Day!”  was their reply.  Brian ran in all excited for me to open my gift.  I opened the cards and then the gift.  It was a digital picture frame.  It was something they thought I could use.  I opened the box and it was empty.  Tom and Brian bought an empty box thinking that the digital frame was in there.  I started laughing, Tom felt foolish and Brian apoligized.  “It’s ok”, I said.  I also told him that the picture card that my camera uses wouldn’t work in this frame anyhow.  He returned the empty box, got his money back and brought me home a beautiful hydrangea.  I was very happy with the beautiful flower.

I felt bad telling him but, I usually take more than one picture of one thing at different angles, lighting, etc.  Then I download them to my pc.  I use a photo editor to choose the ones I think are best. Sometimes I get lucky with just one click.

Brian made me a beautiful and sentimental card.  Notice that he wrote, Dear Elizabeth instead of Grammy.  I thought that was too funny.  No one ever calls me Elizabeth they call me Liz.  I rather like the name Elizabeth.  The words brought a smile to my face.

Made a batch of sugar cookies this morning.  The day flew by and I didn’t get much accomplished.
