Yesterday my parents arrived at my front door for the first time in six months. They live in West Virginia, me in South Carolina, which makes the back and forth more than simple. This was the first holiday season I haven’t spent with them, ever. So seeing them now is really wonderful, and them seeing their grands is so sweet. Plus, they’re keeping the kids so my husband and I can escape for the weekend. Double wonderful. To mark the occasion, I bought some flowers and put them in the guest room for my mother. Martha Stewart would say this is simply proper hostess protocol, but as I’ve proven, I am no Martha. And this kind act was very well received by my flower-adoring Mom.
