Pre-Mother's Day Miscellany

My daughters sent me earrings for Mother's Day. They all have them, too. Beautiful silver filigree teardrops. I love them and like very much that we all have them.

The snake guy, who is not a snake guy, didn't come yesterday. Now he says Monday. So far no more snakes. But I'm kind of spooked.

Alyce celebrates her first Mother's Day tomorrow. I am happy for her.

Richard called to chat and wish me happy Mother's Day.

Lola was just here with a bouquet of flowers for me. We had this conversation as she left.

Lola: Clayton made me a Mother's Day card and wrote a poem.
Me: Sweet kid.
Lola: The poem said   Roses are red
                                 Violets are blue
                                 I love you more than
                                 Corn and carrot stew.
Me: Duh.
Lola: Exactly.
