I am so mad at myself. I didn't get mom's birdhouse finished in time.

I wanted to have mom's birdhouse finished today so I could take it to her. But the air compressor kept messing up and wouldn't nail. So I had to nail the birdhouse together a little bit at a time. Oh well it will be done in the morning. I think she will be happy with it. So what did you do for your mom today?

My mom lives in Florida and I live in Puerto Rico. So I sent her a book written by Stephenie Powers from Hart to Hart. I also sent a frame picture of her two great grandchildren, with a beautiful card. She loved it all.

Stephanie Powers wrote her Memoirs, its called "One from the Hart." She started the book and said its really an interesting read. My mom did love everything especially the picture of her great grandchildren. The weather in Puerto Rico is hot and muggy lately and about 95 degrees. About two weeks ago we were having alot of rain each day that we haven't seen at this time of the year before. My mother's day was ok it could have been alot better if my kids lived near me, but they live in New Mexico so I felt a bit sad all day. Especially due to us going to two cemetries to place flowers at my significant others grandmothers graves. Lets just say I have had alot better mother's days before. I hope you had a wonderful mothers day and that your mom loved the birdhouse. Have a great day! God Bless!

Hi Lelin. Thanks I didn't know she had written anything. I like her I think I will look into that book. Wow that is hot. We have been having so much rain I thought our garden might drown....LOL Thank God it didn't though. That is sad when your children live so far away. It was nice of you to take flowers to the cemetries. But the ones that has passed on they are in a much better place then we that still live are they are in Heaven with the FATHER (God). They are no longer old or in pain they no longer have tears. They are about 33 years old in a spiritual body having the time of their lives. I am so sorry you didn't have a great mother's day. I had a great one. Mom loved the bird house. Hope you have a great day too my friend and my God bless you and yours!

Hi Lelin. Didn't know Stephenie Powers was a writer. What has she written? Sounds like your mom got great gifts from you. Bet she did love everything. How is the weather in Puerto Rico? Did any of this bad weather we have been having affect you? How was your mom? Did you have a great mothers day too? Hope so!

I'm sure your mom won't mind. Most people don't make their presents, so I'm sure it will be a great feeling to get something from the heart like that, no matter what day she receives it. For my mom, I just got her a present. We haven't done anything today, really, just hanging out at home.

Hi Sketch. Thanks I am sure she will be happy when she gets it. Looks like it will be Wednesday since gas is so high we have to make every trip to town count. Must have been nice to just hang out with your mom. Sounds like a nice thing to do. Thanks my friend for sharing.

Your mom will surely be so happy with the effort you exerted with the birdhouse, finished or unfinished. It's really your thought of having it done for her that mattered. As for me, i wasn't able to go home to our hometown yesterday to bring my gift to her, because of the typhoon. I called her instead to greet and she understood my not going there.

Hi Simplyd. Thanks I got it almost finished yesterday. The only thing I didn't get done it needed to be painted again and I ran out of paint. So I put it together and took it too her. It just needed a little touch up. She was really happy with it. She didn't know I do wood work without the help of a man. This is my mother in law but I call her mom. She was really shocked to see that I could build something so nice. She was really happy to get it.

Worked on the computer until my husband got up, did the laundry, called my mom and made meals. Great day. My babies (pets) forgot it was Mother's Day. They told maybe next year they would remember. Funny thing, they always remember Father's Day. Best Wishes!
