Well, her birthday is not til the 31st of March. I'm going to be gone all next week......we're headed to a cabin in Georgia for the week, (if all goes well at my doctor's appt today) of which the final weekend is a fishing tournament my husband is participating in. Several of our friends will be in surrounding cabins and the guys will all be in the tournament and the gals will hang out.You have no idea how much I need this week away -- well on the other hand, maybe you do. Anyway.....I've made a card that I am going to mail from Georgia to make sure it arrives on time. We get home on Mon the 29th. I thought I might take a small plant -- good for the size of her room -- on her actual birthday and she will have already rec'd the card. I think it might cheer up her room a little bit and hopefully the staff will remember to water it once in a while if Mom doesn't.
