"Are they real?"

That was the first thing Ally asked when she saw the flowers.

"Yes they are, sweetie. They're for your mom, but you can have one", I said. The flowers were her cue to morph into full princess mode. Delightful.

Tomorrow's our anniversary (#11) and we'll be away from Ally overnight for the first time as we spend the night in St. Michaels on Maryland's eastern shore. The 100 degree heat and my poison ivy have both subsided so it should make for a spelendid weekend. Be well.
