What to do with Recital Flowers


Photo-A-Day #2986

What a difference a day makes. After last night’s crazy splinter affair where Eva screamed like we were killing her. Today she was completely subdued, her foot was much better and she was back to her old self.

She was back to being sweet and thoughtful. When we asked her if we could give her recital flowers to someone who would be able to better appreciate them she agreed with two small caveats. First, that she get to keep the big single rose so that we could dry it out for her. And second, that we took a photo of her with the flowers. I thought that was reasonable.

Why are we giving away her flowers? Well, by the time we are home to appreciate them they will be totally dead. As it is we have to lock them in the bathroom so the three cats don’t make a meal out of them, a meal that they would immediately puke up.

So, the flowers were brought to Madonna Manor where they were put into a resident’s room so they could be appreciated more fully. That is the kind of kind and thoughtful thing that we’ve come to know from our Eva.

I cannot believe that tomorrow is her last day of Pre-K/Kindergarten. I know there are going to be some tears all around when we pick her up tomorrow.

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Dad Central Consulting for LongHorn Steakhouse. I received a gift card to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.

I watch those mouthwatering commercials and get all fired up to go and then remember my last visit. Would the experience I had last night change things for the better? Keep reading to find out…
