How was your Mother's Day?


There is a reason for this story...promise!!

Yesterday, my daughter's mother in law and I (we are next door neighbors) headed out to a book store 30 miles away (none within 30 miles where I live). Ten minutes into the drive we discovered by cell phone that my daughter was available and would like to join us, so I turned around without question and went to retrieve her.

When we returned to drop her off at home, she asked if we would watch the youngest (the autistic one) while she took the two older ones to tennis lessons.

While we were watching the little guy, my son in law went to the store.

When he returned...had to buy soda; he and I can't be without it LOL...he had a bunch of roses. Of course, I knew who they were for. So, he went about putting the few groceries away. Then is came into the family room with something in each hand.

He handed his mom and me each a heart shaped cake with the plastic thing on top that had a watering can and flowers on it and said: "Love Blooms Around Mom"

What is important here is that we do ALL the yard work in his yard. Mostly me this years, since his mom is incapacitated these days. Only he would see this and make that connection!! Thus, buying the cakes. He amazes me with what he sees around him and what he doesn't see.

Oh yes, and after my daughter received her "made by a 6 yr old and a 9 yr old breakfast in bed", they are all coming over here to put my window A/C's in for me.
