My mom is living at her home and my MIL is living at a facility where they have a no-visitors policy. For my mom, my little ones and I are planning to do a porch visit. She will love seeing them. For my MIL, we will try to do a window visit. The whole situation doesn't seem as personal since we can't get close and speaking through a window isn't ideal, but I am understanding and wanting to keep everyone safe and healthy. Maybe some creative ideas could help?
Would love to hear what families are doing to make Mother's Day special and close.

Yeah, exactly like that. Ditto.
I thought to myself,,, florist? Then ya, I'm a little slow... It's Mother's Day Weekend. duh.... and what did I see? I lot of people buying flowers today. :)
It's a happy day when things are getting a little closer to the "new Norm".
And one of our local restaurants opened today for curbside pickup... I tried calling, but got the answering machine, so I drove down to get my order...( Best calamari ever.. in our area, to my liking or knowledge, nor do I travel.) I got in the place, to place my order, and the phone was non-stop. No wonder it went to voice mail.. I sat there with two other people, and a line formed outside for the phone orders pickup. I guess our town missed this restaurant.
This is the first time I heard of a restaurant selling to go alcoholic drinks TO-GO. ???? I was surprised to hear the cashier taking a phone order for dinner to go plus a MARTINI.. I was really surprised. I asked, I can get a gin and tonic to go? This man came up and said yes, he could add it to my order. I kinda wanted to see what type of container... stryofoam cup, paper cup with straw? I don't know.. it was weird to me...
You are a young one. It's not that old of a saying, is it?
Perhaps now I'm aging myself...
I hope the hair dressers open soon.
yes, i talk to my my angels up there. sometimes I get answers back. I like to think they hear me and answer.
surprisingly,,, my brother texted me today out of the blue.. didn't mention mom, but he texted me.. We don't have much in common nowadays since our "common denominators" are all gone..
I told him thanks for the text, and to remember mom. he hasn't responded. probably stunned.
My kids will probably call to wish me a happy mothers day. Hubby will ignore it as usual along with our 53rd anniversary Tuesday. There was a few times in the 80s and 90s that he brought me a card or a bouquet if he remembered but that was so long ago. He hasn't a romantic bone in his body. I might just splurge and go out to the Braums here and grab a couple of malts to celebrate.
One sunny afternoon I found 4 hummingbirds flying around in my kitchen. Then I looked and realized, I put the feeder on a low branch of a tree.
MY CATS HAD SO MUCH FUN I guess they work well together. One cat is so fat you wouldn't think she could do anything, she blends in well with the surroundings.
Yes, I finally I got the birds out, and put the feeder higher up on the tree.
