Mother's Day

Susan and I have started a new spur of the moment tradition for us on Mother's Day.

Last year, on Mother's Day, we were sitting on our porch when our neighbors Stan and Louie walked by and wished Susan a Happy Mothers Day. It made her feel real good. (We do not have children, unless you count our two Jack Russell Terriers)

So this year we decided ot share the nice feeling. We gave flowers to our friends who are not necessarily mothers (some are men). We went to the coner flower stand at Hillsoborugh and Florida Avenue and bought 3 bunches of gladiolas. We attached little cards that said Happy Nurturers Day (to the men, or to women without dogs or cats top those women who just nurture the neighborhood) or Happy Mother Of Dogs Day (self explanatory) or Happy Mother of all Animals day (even more self-explantory.)

We left the flowers (in little containers of water) by the front doors of these friends. Most were not home so they did not know who left the flowers, which made it more fun.

However everyone figured out who did it because those who were home told those who were not home. This was a great way to spend mother's Day morning.

Don't know if we are going to do this for Father's Day. We would have to figure out what trait to associate with Father's Day s owe can include the women. Susan suggested Guidance.
