So friends and family can keep up with what's going on . . .


Judy brought us three potted flowers -- one each for Mom, me & Eva. There's a delicate-looking white one with exposed dried-up roots (apparently that's the way it's supposed to be); another with small orange blossoms; and the third looks a silky flat cactus with a purple flower. I chose the last one because it's kinda ugly. Eva chose the orange one like I knew she would. So Mom was left with the dried up one, which she didn't mind because it's a "no fuss" plant that only needs to be misted.
