My daughter knew she wouldn't be with me on Mother's Day so one evening when I was visiting that week she brought home a bouquet of balloons. They traveled 500 miles coming home with me last week and are still floating with love in my sunroom where I can see them everyday as I sit and explore blogland.
Along with the balloons she gave me four pink rose buds. One bud for each member of her family - Cindy, Edgar, Baby Lily, and Winston - the Cat! Look closely. I will have these forever because they are wooden!
These beautiful tulips arrived in a box Friday. My son, Chris, had sent in these in time for Mother's Day on Sunday. You never know how flowers you order will turn out; but you can see that these are just beautiful!
M is for MomThis is my Mom! I took this Sunday after dinner at my house. My brother and his family were here as well. Because I had lived in another state for many years it was the first time in many years that my brother and I were both with my Mom for Mother's Day. In the photo with her is my stepdad Frank. My father passed away over ten years ago and afterwards Mom met Frank and you can see how happy they are together. For those of you who have mentioned that looking at my profile picture I look too young to be retired you can see I got good genes from my Mom. She will be 73 years old the end of this month! I love you Mom!

Carletta: Wonderfully done, I'm sure the visit with your Mom was great. She looks very happy.
Awwwww! Great M choice! When I first saw the roses I thought they were marzipan! WOOD is even BETTER!!! They're beautiful! Of course the tulips are gorgeous too! I certainly see some resemblance between you and your mom... you are both lovely ladies!!!
Beautiful post.. :o) and people.
Nice pictures! I've never heard of wooden roses but those sure are pretty.
Lovely tribute to your mom! And lovely pink rosebuds!
A wonderful tribute to your Mother Carletta. Love the wooden roses - they're gorgeous (and never need water either LOL), as well as the bright cheerful tulips. Beautiful photos.
Oh the roses are exquisite! It looks like it was a nice Mother's Day.

These are awesome pictures!! You are obviously the best Mom in the world, and the best daughter ... and the best everything. And you are definitely too young to be retired!! But lucky you!! LOL

Beautiful photos, Carletta! You're so lucky your Mom is still alive. I wish her cent'anni which means 100 years more in Italian.
What a nice Mother's Day you and your mom must have had...I love seeing happy faces!
Beautiful and sweet. I love the pink roses.
Happy Mother's Day! I too, am a bit behind on everyone. The flowers are gorgeous, I'm glad that they are taking care of you on your special day. The pink roses are beautiful! I would have never guessed they were WOOD!
Your mom sure does look young! Must be nice to know that you will most likely age the same way!
Beautiful choice for M! love the balloons and the flowers. How wonderful for your mother to have you and your brother together!
