As a young girl of babysitting age, two of the girls that I sat for always surprised me with some fresh flowers on my doorstep on May Day.  They would ring the doorbell and run to hide around the side of the house.  I could always hear them giggling, but would act surprised and look around to see who could have left such a nice gift.  Even at my young age, I really appreciated their sweet act of kindness.  (Thank you, Carla and Beth, where ever you may be!)

May 1st is also Gracie's (my sweet cat) birthday.  Not sure this is the actual day, but it was the vet's best guess when she first entered my life and it's the date I have honored for 15 years.  Happy Birthday, Gracie!
