Mother’s Day

Floral Friday Challenge.

~~~~~

A couple of weeks ago it was Mother’s Day and

both boys arrived for afternoon tea bearing flowers.

About thirty seconds after handing over their flowers,

they popped the inevitable questions…

“Who’s your favourite son Mum?  

Who  has the best flowers?”

These images were taken a week after the event

and it appeared No 1 Son small bouquet

was an easy winner.

The carnations and roses were

beginning to look sad in

Number 2 Son’s arrangement.

Now,however, all the liliums have opened.

The carnations are still hanging in and

one or both flowers have a strong perfume/scent.

Mothers Day-2015

 Mother’s Day, Down Under, 2015

Today, May 10, is Mothers Day…and a cold wet day it is.

Another 48 points of rain fell over night.

We were destined for a family lunch today,

however, with offspring working odd hours or

attending church services that ran well beyond

our normal lunch hour,

our luncheon gathering has been turned into a dinner date.

This year’s outing will  be different to

past Mother’s Day outings as it will be the first time a

PDIL has been on the scene.

P.D.I.L.??

Potential Daughter In Law…

commonly known as a girlfriend.

We are looking forward to a pleasant Mother’s Day outing

with our ‘free fooders.‘

Which leaves me wondering if I need a credit card tonight

when they take their Mother out for Mother’s Day.

Hmmmm!!

Time will tell!

I wish all other Mums around the world

a Happy Mother’s Day,

this year, also.

Mothers Day-2014

 Mother’s Day, Down Under, 2014

Today, May 11, is Mothers Day…Down Under!  Last year it was breakfast with the offspring on the Saturday morning before Mother’s Day.

This year no such luck.  It was deemed, by Number One, that it was Number Two’s turn to ‘shout’ breakfast.  As our youngest works on Saturdays breakfast didn’t happen this year.  Of course our eldest, who I sometimes think has spiders in his pockets missed out on the ideal opportunity to win brownie points with Mother, and more importantly…a cheap breakfast shout!

So being at the proverbial ‘loose end’ someone suggested that MGW and I go out for lunch on Mother’s Day.  After some negotiation regarding venue and time, a 1.30 PM lunch was approved by MGW and yours truly.  Then a voice said, ‘the kids could probably come after church if lunch is that time!’  And so it was.  All of us together again.  A relatively rare occasion and an enjoyable afternoon.  So interesting to watch our offspring’s attitudes change and mature.

Now back to ‘shouting’.  As I said Number Two could not shout breakfast on Saturday, due to work commitments, so MGW and I (plus 2) booked a table at a nearby eatery for Sunday lunch.  Some things just don’t change…  Ah well!  Thank goodness for credit cards.  Definitely worth it.

All in all we had a very pleasant Mother’s Day.

I hope all other Mums around the world had a Happy Mother’s Day, this year, also.
