MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

This Mother's Day started out early with flowers from my daughter delivered by Fed Ex delivered Friday. LOVE Fed Ex. They are so dependable and the one constant delivery source for flowers from PROFlowers.com. Of course I had to call my daughter to Thank her and the call was a great "Catch-Up" in advance of her arrival with the boys in just one month for a visit before their next deployment overseas. Two-plus years will be a long time and the boys will be 10 and 12 (or older) before I'll see them again - older before their Maine/Mass. cousins get to see them again. So we'll have to make this coming time together packed with memories and FAMILY.

Then, Mother's Day continued today with another FedEx delivery from my son - a dozen HUGE strawberries and chocolate dipping sauce from Sherri's Berries. He sent them as substitutes for kisses and hugs and, while they are delicious, kisses and hugs from my wonderful son (and an exceedingly patient, single parent dad) can never be matched. :-) Hopefully he, too, will be here sometime later on this summer. As a result, I am hoping God is sending Maine's portion of rain now and not all summer long like the last two summers. This year it would be nice to actually have a summer.

BTW, if any of you are experiencing the early arrival of carpenter ants - or are looking for a really good pest control company, I have to whole-heartedly endorse the commercial and residential services provided by Maine Pest Solutions in Brewer. Tel #: (207) 944-8385. Prices are better than reasonable and the chemicals they use are totally effective (or the company will come back for no extra charge). Joe Deshane has provided their services for several homes here that at shoreline residences and appreciates the environmental concerns, pets, children, etc. Great products - great services - great prices. What more can anyone ask for? Nothing.
