Hi. I didn't mean to delete that comment. I thougt I had posted it with C.P.'s log-in. He doesn't like it when I impersonate him. It was late. :)
One of the cool things though is that my grandmother LOVES flowers, so every month on the 25th, I had flowers sent.
I love that. I'm going to start doing that for my mother. What a good idea. I have three great uncles (all brothers) on my mother's side who are in their 90s. They argue over who will make it to 100. I am hoping my mother takes after them.
