Mr PL's mom is coming over on Saturday.  (She has to work on Sunday).  I was thinking about buying her a beautiful boquet of flowers and prepare some appy's/sandwiches for a nice tea party in our yard.  She doesn't know my idea and neither does Mr PL.  I have yet to tell him this.

  For my mom, I'm thinking about having her over for dinner that day.  Heck, I may just have her over for that afternoon too (if she wants).

  How about you, LM?

I'll spend the days looking for something to buy and bring home. I'm either going to by Chinese art or First Nation art. I can't make up my mind though. The colours of the rooms in my house wouldn't go with a First Nation arts drawing.
Anybody know any good places in Vancouver?

What kind of chinese art?  Chinese lettering?  Is this for your mother?

Anything really. Yeah its from mom.
Something that's framed lettering would be fine.

 I don't even think I'll be seeing my mom or my grandmothers on Sunday.  Heckyl and Jeckyl both have lacrosse, so I'll be spending my Mother's Day at the arena.  3 games on Sunday.  *sigh*
 The lacrosse association usually comes up with some wilted carnations for us.
 Maybe I'll treat myself to some take-out pizza and a bottle of wine Sunday night...

  I hope the weather is ok for Saturday.  It didn't look promising on the weather website.

She deserves it, she is super cool! Always been there for me and put up with my sh*t during my "Teen-Know-It-All" years.

At one time (around 16), I was the smartest person in the universe...and waaayyy cooler than everyone else!

 I'll be late being home, for Mother's Day, but I'll be home (if I survive the long trip back driving by myself lol) which is the key word for her. lol

I got my mother a bottle of wine (it's a limited edition Sumac Ridge).
 She's coming for dinner tomorrow night...and I thought the fruit of the vine was a slightly classier gift than a 6-pack and carton of smokes...

  I'm sure she'll appreciate your distinguished choice....unless you're including a straw with the limited edition.

If we were thae same age - I would have to disagree - because I and I alone was the smartest person in the universe, but since i have a couple years on you _we could both be right.

Perhaps we each were the smartest in the universe for a period of time        (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/26.gif)

Btw, my mother was quite pleased with her limited edition wine in a box.
 (which was NOT a Gala Keg, P.C.!!!)
 
 Mr LM sent me flowers from his secret ops mission.

  There was no doubt in my mind, that it was a gift of the ultimate taste.  Good job Lil Me !
