We thought it would be fabulous to give my mom one of those edible arrangements. Do you know about this? They take fruit and arrange it to look like a bouquet of flowers. Simply gorgeous, and for a certified fruit freak like my mom, we figured it would be the perfect Mother's Day delight.
They are not cheap, but by golly, she's worth it. Plus my brother said he'd go in on it with me.
You know how sometimes something that seems so right turns out to be so wrong? Yeah, me too.
We could not have chosen a worse present. It completely stressed her out, because she kept saying she could never eat all that, and she had no place to keep it, and it was too big for her, and her refrigerator was too small, and she should give it to my brother.
Note to self: next year stick with flowers, perhaps?

Have I ever told you my bagel story with my Dad? It's humorous now but when it happened boy was I ticked off!
Ugh, I'm sorry it turned out this way. Who would have guessed? Not me, I thought it was a great idea. Ah well...
Finally, a bit of time to hang out in blogland and get caught up on your life. WOW! A 15 year old. A testy 11 year old. And your mom moved in. You are being challenged right now, aren't you? I loved you birth story about Garrison. How crazy is that???
Awwww, you get an A for effort though!!
