May 2012

and b'day balloon. It was for both, her b'day is right around same time. Sent a card separately too.

My girls who themselves are both mom's in early 30's one sent me a snail mail card and one a e greeting card.

We don't do expensive gifts or any gifts normally unless we see each other in person on a b'day or xmas.

My mom was surprised because i haven't sent her flowers in ten years, usually send a small gift. It was my husbands idea. I think he misses sending his mom flowers, she died a few years back.

I told my husband not to spend any money on a gift, we went out to dinner instead. My girls and mom all live out of state so its just us.
