ITS MAY DAY

OH I LOVE MAY DAY, EVERY YEAR I HAVE GRAND PLANS AND THEY DONT ALWAYS GET DONE BUT I TRY TO MAKE A FEW MAY DAY BASKETS. THIS YEAR I BOUGHT CUTE LITTLE PINK BASKETS AND PANSYS AND SNAPDRAGONS. USED MY STAMPIN STUFF AND MADE TAGS.

DID YOU KNOW WHEN MY MOM WENT TO PARADISE GRADE SCHOOL MAYDAY WAS A BIG AFFAIR, THEY HAD A MAY POLE AND RIBBONS AND A DANCE AROUND THE MAYPOLE.

I LOVE IT THAT THE TEACHERS AT OUR SCHOOL STILL CELEBRATE. THEY MADE CUTE BEE BASKETS AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET TO BUY FLOWERS FOR THE FIRST GRADE MY #4 GRANDSONS IN TO PUT IN THEIR BASKETS. THEY LOVED THEM THE TEACHER SAID.

I SENT ONE BASKET TO MY SISTERS GRAVE, SHE LOVED MAY DAY LIKE ME AND I ALWAYS TOOK HER ONE NO MATTER WHAT. OH I MISS YOU SHIRL..YOU WERE THE BEST SISTER. OH I KNOW YOU GAVE ME GRIEF BUT I FORGOT ALL THAT AND JUST THINK NO BODY WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO COMPARE TO YOU.

I WANT TO TELL YOU ONE LITTLE MAY DAY STORY .

WHEN I WAS BABYSITTING FOR A FAMILY, THE YOUNGEST GIRL WAS ABOUT 5 AND IT WAS MAYDAY AND WE WERE DECIDING WHAT TO DO. SHE SAID SUESUE I HAVE AN IDEA,, DID YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOT MAKING HUCKLEBERRY HONEY BEER ANYMORE AND ITS MY DADS FAVORITE.. WE COULD GO TO EVERY STORE AND GAS STATION AND YOU COULD BUY IT ALL UP AND WE COULD GIVE IT TO MY DAD.. WELL WELL WELL..... I FOUND A BOTTLE IN THE GARBAGE AND SAID LETS MAKE A BASKET OUT OF THIS AND FILL IT WITH DADS FAV, FLOWER ..DANDILIONS. OH YA BABY THIS WAS FUN... SO WE MADE A HANDLE,. WROTE A NOTE, AND FILLED THAT BOTTLE BRIMMING WITH BRIGHT YELLOW DANDILIONS AND HUNG IT ON THE BEDROOM DOOR.. THE GIRL WAS HAPPY AND I WAS VERY HAPPY...ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS IVE NEVER BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF BEER IN MY 60 YEARS ON EARTH THATS WHAT MADE IT FUNNY....WAS MY MENTAL IMAGE OF ME BUYING CASES OF HUCKLEBERRY HONEY BEER....GOOD NIGHT
