Nothing like starting out a wonderful weekend with a bad dream.

This is the weekend for the Garden for Connoisseur's Tour, for the benefit of the Atlanta Botanical Garden, so I'm looking forward to a long, inspiring day visiting elaborate (and expensive!) private gardens..

Better still, my brother will be in Sunday from Phoenix for a week for Mother's Day. We'll go see some art, hear some music and scrounge some junk shops. Doesn't get any better...

I tossed and turned all night with one of those dreams--Phil and I were somewhere and we got separated. He was the driver, so I was stuck.

For some reason, I had all five of the grandkittens with me, and they were all over the place. I didn't have my cell phone to call Phil and get a ride back.

Several of my friends came in to whatever this place was to have breakfast, but when they saw me there, they left and went somewhere else.

As a result, I pent the night chasing kittens and trying to get a ride home.

What started out as a delightful morning has taken a turn, as life usually does. My 16 year old daughter surprised me a bouquet of flowers before leaving for school. My early happy mom's day gift. Very sweet of her & I was truly surprised & touched.

Over the last few months I helped grant a Make A Wish for a 13 year old boy. All the furniture was delivered and I was suppose to go to the house to complete the room with the finishing touches earlier this week. The appt was canceled due to the child's health. Just got a call that hospice is coming to the house this morning and I need to get there to finish the room.

Don't know how I am going to hold myself together but I need to find the strength for this family and finish the wish.

Thanks for letting me vent.

What's the child' wish, Spuff?

We converted a room into an "executive" office for him. Big desk, chair, leather sofa, table & chairs to play games with his siblings.

That was his wish, to have his own executive office.

How do you contain that great big heart inside that little body? Peace

That's a pretty original wish for a kid. I'm sure he'll think he's hot stuff!

update: The wish is complete. The family all seemed very happy. Mom was happy to see her son smile.
