Good Afternoon Great-Gardeners,
This past weekend my daughter and I went to one of her girl scout troop meetings to celebrate the troops annual Mother's Day Tea. Unbeknownst to the Mothers, each girl was pulled aside and asked what made their mom special to them. The troop leader then one by one recited to us what they had said about us. By the end I think not a dry eye was left in the room.
This Mother's Day don't forget to tell your mom how special she is. Flowers, a dinner or even a card is nice, but giving her a big hug and telling her 'I Love You' is even more important. For those who have lost their mothers, keep them in your hearts they are still with you even though you can not see them.
To all the Mother's out there 'Have a wonderful Mother's Day!'
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. As always, have a great-gardening day.
Sincerely,
Holly |
