I will continue to shop at Aldi's and Walmart, and surprisingly, Target groceries, for the most part, are very affordable. When it comes to coffee, bread anyway. So that is that.

Fire pit repurposed |
The job hunting is still ongoing, and when it happens, it will happen at the right time. In the meantime, I will continue to finish projects around the house, which includes painting, and the occasional planting of a few flowers, mowing the yard and keeping the yard looking good. Which by the way, makes me very happy.
Mother's Day started early for me, my middle son took me to lunch yesterday at Bonefish grill.
It is the best to be able to spend an hour or so of quality time, one on one with your adult children.
I don't need gifts for Mother's Day, time spend with my kids is the best gift.
This weekend, the weather is overcast, and kinda blah. The hubs is still sleeping, he had a long week and is catching up on his rest. I have been up for a while, watered newly planted Confederate Jasmine, and the flowers that I recently planted in the fire pit that we never use. Chatted with a friend from the animal shelter for almost an hour, and then had a nice daily chat with my daughter. She calls daily, I just love that she does that.
I forgot just how happy planting flowers makes me. I will try not to get too carried away with it. My OCD personality will get carried away with about anything, or so I have been told. ;-)
What is your fondest Mother's Day memory?
Follow your bliss....if it's gardening and flowers, so be it.
ReplyDeleteMy fondest memory is from MD 1995, the year before I had College Boy, Hubs took the older two up to the drugstore so they could pick out Mother's Day cards for me.
Daughter bought one that read, "You've Always Been Like a Mother to Me". lololz Of course she was only 2.5 years old, couldn't read and said that card had the prettiest flowers on it. That became a tradition with her.....every year I get a card from her that has that wording on it(or if she can't find one, she makes up her own card bearing that phrase). 8-)))
I love your memory! Tradition wrapped up in love.
DeleteYep. following the bliss is good advice. For now, it is the flowers. But with a dash of bellydancing for exercise. Ha ha.
