18 March 2007 English/American Mothers Day

It was Mothers Day in England yesterday, but not so here in the ol' US of A. Here, it’s on the second Sunday in May, so that's probably why the delivery man, bearing a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a vase, looked puzzled when he rang the bell. We nearly didn't answer, as it is the first time the door buzzer has been used during our stay and we weren't sure what the buzzing noise was but he rang again and we just got there in time! Flowers from Andrew and Marie- beautifully arranged with a lovely purple bow adorned with a butterfly- and an ecard from JP and Andrea with a singing kitten with a message that brought a tear to my eye. Helen had phoned the night before, so it was lovely to be remembered by the 'kids'. It seems strange that our two wonderful daughters in law are now mothers themselves and experiencing their first Mothers day.
