It's Mother's Day

I've had a great Mother's Day - beginning last night. We got home from moving our daughter out of her dorm and our son was here. I wasn't really sure he was even coming, so that was a great surprise. We unloaded all of my daughter's stuff and I had to work to finish up some things from a Home Show I'd done earlier in the day. (I say that as though it was no big deal, but in actuality, it was the highest sales I've ever had at a Home Show, so I was thrilled.

Anyway, my husband sent flowers earlier in the day yesterday, but they arrived with a vase, but unarranged. I called upon my son who worked for a florist briefly while in high school to rearrange them, and it was amazing what a little experience will do for you. He was actually hired as a deliveryman, but it was a small shop, so he had to do everything on busy days.

This morning, my daughter gave me a Baylor "Mom" shirt. I love it, and it really is beginning to sink in that I will soon have both of my kids there - mine and my husband's alma mater. It wasn't all that important until now. But it's cool and I'm excited about it for both of them.

My husband had my daughter send him photos from our trip to Las Vegas and framed a photo of me and my son, one of the Paris Hotel and one of my daughter all together in one frame. It is so neat and I love it. He also bought me a dvd, but we already had that one, so he'll exchange it for another.

Then my son brought in an antique rose bush - and it was more than 47 years old :). It is actually a cutting from a 300 year old rose bush. Because it has not been "engineered", it should be pretty hardy and I put it in the only empty pot on the back porch and I now have something to show my next-door-neighbor. She can grow nearly anything and I can kill nearly anything, so she always has more things to show me. I can't wait. I've watched for her all afternoon, but she hasn't been out.

So, it's been a near perfect day. I have to go back on jury duty tomorrow which I dread, but at least we're nearing the end of this case, I think, and I can get back to normal. Pray for me that I will be fair and wise in deliberations and that God will lead us all to the right decision.

Have a great day yourself, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
