See - it pays to say nice things about your Mom!:)
YAY!!! I just read that I won
on Connie's daily "What's Happening today on Gather" post.
I love participating in some of the many contests by gather's sponsors. This one was sponsored by T-Mobile - BTW - I have T-Mobile and love it:). The contest writing an essay about my mom for Mother's Day was certainly up my alley.
I won an $25 AMEX gift card and who knows, maybe even the extra 50 points, if I happen to have been within the first one hundred entrants with my Mother's Day essay.
AWESOME - THANK YOU - GATHER ROCKS!!! ..... YOU MADE MY DAY!
... here is a link to my winning post Happy Mothers Day, Mama!- Photo Essay

Hey, that is really cool. Congrats. By the way, what is that flower in the second pic up there? Iv'e never seen anything like it.
Arlene - Isn't it gorgeous? It's the bloom on our Royal Poinciana tree. I just started blooming, I thought we had lost it when the temps got down to low, it froze, but it made a comeback. They like it hot - Miami is a better climate for them we are midstate and occasionally we get down to freezing for 24 to 48 hrs.
It is really beautiful and unique!
Congrats! I wish we could get t mobile here

This calls for some venison stew. Of course, Curt and others are quite concerned you are using flowers instead of lettuce on salads. Tradition is important, but such a yummy marigold!!!
Sweet William - sshh, don't spill all my cooking secrets:)
