Love your picture of Poppy. My grandfather on my dad's side was locally know as Grandpa Billy Goat because he would huff & puff a lot but we all knew it was all for show. Underneath he was a big ball of mush. And the quote is one of those universal truths. I think we can all relate to how our parents miraculously became smarter as we got older.

My SD called and wished me a Happy Mothers Day. I was very touched because we have had a rough time of it. My SS did not, but I decided not to worry about it. My kids bought me a flower and a card for the 1st time. They are 16 and 11. They were with their Dad, but came to spend the day with me. My Ex never reminds them or offers to take them shopping, so I was so surprised that I received anything this year. My 11 yr old even told me that he spent his own money on the flower!!! I was very happy just to spend the day with them.

My father has been dead for many years and my son is biking across the country and talked to his dad last night. But the daughter had a nice spread in her fabulous new yard which looks like something from HGTV. We had snacks and she and I did a walk around her town while the boys, her dad , husband, and son watched alternately golf and the Phillies. Grandson brought his big TV out in the backyard. They had grilled chicken thighs, orzo salad which was so good and corn on the cob but the dessert was delicious and it now is my fav for celebrations. She got it on Pinterest and it was strawberry cream lasagna which was so good with just-picked strawberries. I had two servings. His gift was the Phillies game two weeks ago and she also gave him more tonight. We'll miss them. They're leaving for Iceland for two weeks.
