Sorry that my Happy Mother’s Day wishes are late. For some reason, I couldn’t get to my blog.
I had a delightful surprise – Brian’s friend and coworker and his whole family wanted to come by and leave something with me.
It was this gorgeous orchid as a Happy Mother’s Day present. This wonderful family lives in the same building that Brian and I do.
We had been invited to dinner at their condo but we had to cancel due to Harvey’s stroke. I had met the woman and her 9 month old (I think) daughter, but hadn’t met the rest of the family. They have a 3 year old son, too. They brought one of their Nannie’s and another friend.
I gave her a choice of a pair of earrings that I had wood burned. She seemed pleased. They have adopted Harvey and me as honorary grandparents! I about lost it when they asked if they could call me, “Nana.” 🙏
She is an artist and will invite me to see some of her work in her studio. I can’t wait AND they are going to invite me to dinner soon!
To say I am thrilled is the understatement of the century. I will try to earn my new name each time I see them.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day or showed yours how special she is.

Oh, the orchid is beautiful! And yes, Nana is such a wonderful name to bestow upon you from your new ‘extended family’ friends there!
I celebrated with my husband yesterday, but got to kiss and hug my daughter and two of my granddaughters! So it was a lovely Mother’s Day here.

I am so glad to hear that, Raj. The family brought me a mister bottle so I can try to water my gorgeous orchid correctly. I am very lucky to be accepted into a new family. I will try to be a good Nana. 😀
