My Mothers day gift

I know it is almost a week since Mothers day and I just wanted to share with everyone the beautiful gifts I recieved for Mothers day. My daughter bought me a 4 foot statue of an angel sitting on a pedestal and surprised me by putting it right in the middle of my un cultivated Unplanted garden. I was out setting up one of my flower pots last weekend when I turned around and there she was. She has the most beautiful look on her face(the angel) and she is in a thinking mans pose. I also recieved another angel from my husband and now I need to figure out how I will display these beauties in my yard. Right now I can look out my window and see my precious angels anytime I want and I love that Idea but I don't want them left in the vegetable garden. I want them to have a home of their own that they can shine for me all the time. This has made me start thinking... So what did you get for Mothers day from the people you love and love you? I'd love to hear all about it.

My daughter and youngest child sang me a song. My middle child wrote me a nice poem, and my husband got me flowers and took me out to dinner. It was nice.

I love love love those kinds of gifts. The poem and singing is truly coming from the heart. When my children were much younger I so treasured the little cards and notes they wrote for me(with all the misspelled words and all) I miss the early childhood days. I still have many of these cards and letters in my file cabinet. I will take them out when the Grandkids are ready to craft something for Mommy and Daddy.

What beautiful gifts I love angels! My mother gave me some money, by aunt gave me pair of pajamas and my husband got me a set of drinking glasses that say coca cola on them, a carry around pop cooler that says Diet Coke and a lap desk.

What nice gifts. What are you going to do with the money from your Mom? I hope you plan to buy something frivolous just for you. As Moms we tend to spend our money on everyone but ourselves so we need to be reminded we are important too. Have a fantastic day...
