Saturday Soup
I am trying not to be in a bad mood. I woke up cold today. Our temps are only in the 50s and we're getting lots of rain. I had asked the husband to take the car into the shop this morning, but of course that took a nose dive when the time came. He opted out stating he was waiting on a friend that was coming from out of town and they may go golfing. FORTUNATELY, for him, it was not busy at the dealership. Or my bad mood may have turned into an evil one, lol. I got in and out quick enough, and went to Walmart to procure some silly stuff for my mom and grandma. I don't want to get them flowers. They will get them from my other sister(s). They really have everything, so they are a hard pair to bless. However, I was able to find chocolate covered cherries for my grandmother (her absolute favorite), and deep dish reese cups for mom. I also found two little prayer books for women, and a little Mother's Day figurine of a boy holding a sign that says something about mother's day, but it was what was in the other hand that made it perfect. A frog. My mother's nickname is frog which was bestowed upon her by my father after she had laryngitis for three months. The name has stuck over the years. She used to have quite a collection of frogs until my niece accidentally toppled over the stand that held all the frog treasures, such as they were, and it turned into a pile of rubble. Well she's moved on from collecting frogs, of course and likes other things. But I think one more for old time's sake won't hurt.
Got part of my home work done, I should say extra credit home work and will do the other piece this afternoon. I think I'm going to squeeze a nap into my day. I'm not presently talking to my husband because well I am ticked off at him, but I will get over it.
Onward..........

Hi Lynne,
Sounds like you got some great gifts ... I especially like the Frog story! I sent my mom a tote bag with built in "clear windows" where you can insert photos (sort of like a combination tote bag/photo frame). It arrived early and she already opened it, so I know it was a hit.
Best,
Marty
