Technically, I'm not a mom yet. But THANK YOU to everyone for your sweet thoughts and wishes this week!! How truly thoughtful :) Yesterday we had our church's mission trips auction. Its a wonderful evening of fun fellowship with friends. We enjoy it more and more each year. At the auction were two planter/birdfeeder/birdhouses made by one of the gentlemen from our congregation. Steven was going to get me a birdbath for Mom's Day, but I watched the silent bidding on the smaller house and let it go after awhile. I didn't expect to go home with the larger one since (wisely) they put it on the live auction list. To my surprise, Steven fully intended to come home with the big one!! And so did a couple of the other people there. My husband spent a silly amount and refused to be called a sissy by a pastor but he got that bird house! At the end of the evening, our pastor's wife came up and told us how fun that bidding war made the auction. It was fun and for a great cause...And boy did Steven win brownie points with this birdhouse! Hmm, I must be my mother's daughter thinking a birdhouse is a fabulous gift!
It looks like a wonderful mother's day gift. I can just imagine Steven telling everyone that is what he was going to buy, only to have friends bid him up.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great gift---it looks perfect for your yard. I hadn't checked the blog lately so am a little behind. I love your baby look and can't wait to see both of you next week. Gram and I had a wonderful trip to Madison last weekend-the highlight of course was graduation but the rummaging, zoo, card playing and laughter all came in close.....my heart bursts now for both you and Malcolm and your families. See you soon-Love, Steph
