Flower Power
Since I'm an only child and my aunt's two girls are the same ages as my children, they've always called me Aunt Gail, even though we're first cousins. I love that. After moving back to Baton Rouge two years ago, I have had the opportunity to get closer to my family, my "adopted" nieces especially. All three of us suffer from bouts of depression from time to time, so if I'm not lifting them up, they're lifting me up. It's pretty wonderful. Here are the flowers from my youngest niece/cousin. She surprised me with them last week, filling my heart with joy and love. Remind me sometime me to tell you the story about why Double D refuses to buy me flowers and hasn't since 2/14/1991...another post for another day. I absolutely love getting fresh flowers! Thank you, Chris, for being the special girl you are. And for loving me.

WOW.. Your flowers looks beautiful. I Love to get flowers as well. In fact I just bought myself some Gardenia's.
Happy Monday.

Beautiful. Amazing how something natural perks us up.
A big Blessing!! So sweet of your (niece) to send these.... don't you just love sweet surprises like this?
It's great to have those that can support you when you are down, as well as you supporting them. When my sister died, my niece and I became each other's support group.
Enjoy today!!
Wonderful! These are gorgeous.
Every so often, I see these flowers in floral departments. They are such a vibrant color ...and the white makes the "magenta" pop. I love flowers anytime; my oldest son sends them for occasions and I buy them for myself the rest of the time.
The flowers are amazing, I loved the colors!
Gail, this is a wonderful post on several different levels.
Terrific photos of your flowers!
Have a blessed week.
