Like a Florist Shop










Many have expressed their love and affection for my mother in law by sending flowers to her. Her room at the aged care centre reminds me of a florist shop and she is loving it! The photos above were taken on Wednesday.












I took both cameras yesterday (Sunday) to capture memories for her.  There were even more bouquets and the lilies in earlier arrangements were in full bloom, a splendid sight. A beautiful way of showering her with love at this time.

  34. Dear Karen, thank you for your comment! All of us in Europe are waiting for spring. Today it's raining or snowing again. -
    Your mother in law looks like spring herself. Pink is such a beautiful colour for silver agers ( my mother in law of hundred years, too ).
