MOTHER’S DAY:  Thanks to Ed, it will be Mother’s Day for the next four months.  The orchid has lots of buds, and the flowers that are open will stay open for a long time.  Friendship is a very good thing. David took his Mother for a special breakfast buffet and Nancy sent chocolate covered strawberries and cheesecake.  I got to tag along to the breakfast, I ate more than half of the strawberries and cheesecake, and I’ll enjoy the orchids… so I guess the cards should have read Happy Mother’s Day, Jerral.
