Guys and Dolls: Flowers

Saturday, November 29, 2008

My thoughtful sister Cassie sent me flowers all the way from Utah. They were beautiful red tulips. I think she's pretty swell. It made my day.

Then a few days later I came walking into the front room to find my thoughtful Theron with a pile of tulip pedals next to my beautiful tulips.

He said, "Look, mom!! with a proud smile on his face.

All I could say was, "Oh." Aren't they beautiful now?

Mike and Jen said...: I can't believe I missed so many funny blogs in the past few days! Well it looks like things have been quite eventful and I am said to say that I missed them. I wish we could have seen you guys over the holidays again. It would have been so much fun!; November 30, 2008 at 2:04 PM
Roseanne said...: hi Britt, I was so happy to find your blog! I wonder if you would send me your address? roseannabanana@gmail.com Thanks! RoseAnne; December 1, 2008 at 10:41 PM
LoGunns said...: Britt I am glad you had some good help to get you through your surgery recovery. What would we do without loving family? What did you have surgery for? Or is it a top secret government experiment to turn mom's into real live super heroes. You would be a good candidate for that opperation.; December 2, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Kendra H said...: Boys and flowers! Ethan would do the same thing, claiming to just be "smelling" them - somehow I can smell them without all the petals coming off.
I have the advantage of Adrian telling me all about his friends and their wives from med-school. Between him and your blog, I feel like I know you! It would be fun to meet some day though.; December 2, 2008 at 3:02 PM
Shannon said...: I love reading what your reaction is to all this stuff...I can totally hear Britt's sarcasm! Sure do miss that!; December 3, 2008 at 7:19 PM
