Comments (6)@Raymond no supplementary light its by a south facing window so gets some bright light for 3-4 hours of the day we r in midwest so gets chilly by the windows atnights, perhaps that’s enough to keep the plant flowerin albeit later in the season @Susan good to hear about the fertilizer schedule, I’ll remember to feed when I take her outside later this month....See MoreHappy Mother’s Day!
Comments (10)Happy Mother’s Day to all ❤️ We had a small group of DH, me, DS2and my mother. The kids nominated DS2 to buy plants for my mom and me. We had a very lazy day, with lunch of quiche Lorraine I had made yesterday, and a dinner of chicken prepared like schnitzel ( cutlets pounded thin, dusted with flour and paprika, dipped in egg and rolled in panko and cooked in the smallest amount of oil possible), on a bed of creamed spinach and mushrooms, served with saffron rice. Watermelon pieces as a salad and coconut cake for dessert, all made by me. Our club restaurant isn’t open for sit down meals yet, and I did not want to risk going elsewhere just yet, so I had this all planned and it took just an hour to put it together. We ate in the informal dining area and I used one of the azalea plants the kids gave me as a centerpiece. Nothing fancy for a change, and I found a box of unused tray liners from Hester and a Cook when we moved and used those as sort of faux placemats. So glad we did not have a big do that required a lot of cleanup, as after dinner DH got a call, his mother died on Mother’s Day evening. She was in her late 80s and had Alzheimer’s for more than a decade, cared for in her own home according to her wish by round the clock helpers. DH and DS2 had driven to Alabama to see her the day before and found her especially frail, so it was not a surprise to anyone. Still, any passing is a blow, a jolt in the road. I’m more thankful than ever to have my mother! DH’s brother, a physician, was with their mom at the end. We will have a very quiet family funeral in a few days. “A life well lived is not to mourn, but to envy and inspire hope.”...See MoreHappy Mother’s Day!
Comments (13)Happy Mother's Day to all you KT'ers! You all have a virtual invite to share in my good fortune this Mother's Day! But......since we are all practicing social distancing, I know that I won't have to share this delicious rhubarb pie that Daughter brought to me this morning. Also brought 3 kinds of her home canned pasta sauce and 2 dozen meatballs....See MoreHappy Mother’s Day
Comments (19)My DD and her fiance came out, and my dad treated us all to lunch at one of my fav local Mexican food restaurants. I’m still thinking of my veggie chili relleno with queso fresco. Ahhhh. I wish I could eat it every day. :) I tried to convince them to move in with us, but they won’t. I’m not doing Empty Nest Syndrome well. I want to be with her every day. It’s been years since she moved! She’s 27! When do I get used to it?!...See More- last month
