m-day gifts

I always tell the kids

I don't want them to get me anything

for Mother's Day.

And it's true;

I really don't want them spending any money on me

but

they like to anyways.

Often Tyler has a Papa Shop

they can purchase from

for a very sick price.

It seems the Papa Shop isn't very well stocked this year.

So

just in case

anybody really wants to buy me something

here's what I've been eyeballin':

From Yeagers:

8" forever and ever hydrangea

if it's forever & ever - surely I won't kill it ~ right?

a new porch swing

Yeager's has one for $44, probably isn't super comfy

but it'd work.

Our swing broke the day after

Gramma & Grampa were here for a visit.

Gramma Joyce and I had spent a good bit of time

visiting on that there swing;

I am so glad it didn't break when she was on it!!

Harbor Freight finally put their letter stamping sets on sale

I've been watching for for that for about a year!

Just so it's not weird that what I want

comes from the hardware store,

I've also been whining for a tortilla keeper

ever since we left a tortilla in ours right before Lana's wedding

and found it a few weeks later.

Remember

we make our own tortillas

out of freshly ground flour.

with no preservatives.

The tortilla keeper was half full of nasty green fur.

I was so disgusted

I threw the whole thing away!

Had I known Walmart no longer sold them for $5

I would have bleached the darn thing.

Right after somebody snatched it up

we saw one at a yard sale a few weeks ago for a buck.

She didn't have a clue what it was for!

I should've offered her $5 for it

I also want a french curve someday

and then

there are always books....
