ROSES!

This morning I was practicing the piano for a number to accompany two of "my girls" for Seminary Graduation next week. The doorbell rang, and a woman stood at the door holding out a bouquet of colorful spring flowers. On reading the card, though, I had to send her to deliver them to the correct recipient--the flowers were for Pat Moon, my next door neighbor. I sighed inwardly to see their brightness walk down my steps.

But a couple of hours later the UPS truck drove into our cul-de-sac and stopped at our house. The long green box was from Pro Flowers--a very recognizable presentation, since that's the company Jeff used to send me flowers while I've been away in Provo at BYU.

These roses are FOR ME, from Valerie and Janyse. Happy Mother's Day!!! I didn't tell anyone (except Marci saw the small box) that chocolates accompanied the flowers. I am going to indulge myself without sharing a single one! Thank you, sweet daughters, for your thoughtfulness.
