Mother’s Day is the one designated day a year that folks are really thinking about “Mom”. From breakfast in bed to a diamond necklace, the perfect gift selection seems to elude a good portion of the population. Then, of course, many guys feel only their mothers deserve acknowledgement, not their wives (what a missed opportunity to make brownie points with the gal they made a mom).
Wire for sound from soft backyard music to guest participating karaoke (Invite the neighbors so they won’t complain).
And . . . . . . . . . . . . if you’re lucky enough to have the space and funds, build your own pool house! Here's one which includes a full kitchen and bath, fireplace and T.V. and comfortable seating located at poolside. It is an all year ‘round “destination” hang out room that adds a new dimension to a stay at home getaway! "April showers (and Passover and Easter) have come our way' as that old old songs goes and have been put in the books for this year. Now for the spring flowers "that bloom in May" - are we ever ready! The poor flowers didn't quite know when to come up this year, but by Mother's Day we'll at least be able to decorate the inside of our homes with the wonderful scent of spring. While I hope that you've been at least filling on vase with fresh hot house purchased flowers weekly during the winter season, now is the time to decorate with the sign, scent and splurge of color only fresh flowers can bring. |
