Ok - In laws are coming in to visit this evening and I am trying to be nice and make a good weekend of it. Since we will not see them for Mothers Day I had thought I was a genius this morning and would get a potted Mum and write a nice card saying "To the wonderful "Mum" that you are, Happy Mothers Day".

Well wouldn't you know it - they don't sell Mums this time of year!! GRRRRR. Now I need a new plant and a new saying. Can anyone help. They will be here at 7 pm tonight so I need to quickly come up with an idea.

Thanks

What can I do next?

For some reason Peonies popped into my mind after reading your question. :p Perhaps because it is Friday and I go home in 15 minutes.

Come on, what woman doesn't want Peonies. :p

Oh gads, I should have gone home a while ago.

Ya know, it is your mother in law, that is probably a more appropriate gift from your father in law....

Yeah yeah, I'm leaving already..... :)

What about forget-me-nots?
A mother's love can never be forgotten.

Maybe you can think of a better saying... :)
