Family Fieldtrip

My Mom, sisters and I, along with our children, take a yearly fieldtrip to a nearby amazing nursery where we purchase our garden plants for the season: tomatoes, peppers, herbs and my Mom's annual succulent selection. I always tend to purchase an incredible annual or bulb: this time I got a magnificent white rannucula: ES, my alomost Birthday and everything else twin loves them too!!! This time for our fieldtrip, two out of our four spouses were able to attend, and Mom invited our friends, BS and PS, who made the day that much more enjoyable. It was a beautiful sunny day. We walked along eating popcorn, looking at everything beautiful. Then I went to look at the tree section and found some Giant Sequoias I had been looking for, and unfortunately because they were rather tall, so was the price tag. So then I asked an employee if she knew where anymore smaller ones were, and she said she had no idea. At that moment I turned around, slightly disappointed, and in my Mom's hand, half a row down, was an affordable GIANT SEQUOIA: so amazing, considering she did not know I had seen the big ones earlier and did not know that I had just asked the employee about more. She did know however that I have been looking for one of those trees for months: she knows my heart: THANK YOU MOM! And to JM: I love it that we have the same shoes. MG: I love it that I have your car now!
I am so excited to get our chickens this week (hopefully) and also start our garden soon!!!
So I have a question: is it less expensive to pay late fees on two new movies, or is it less expensive to drive 20 miles (with the price of gas) to take them back and not have them be late?
MOM K: Thank you for your daily comments to my blog: I love hearing from you!

Goodnight all, Love K
