a gift of love

As I was climbing into bed last night, I found this thoughtful little gift on my nightstand....

lavender salts web round

Homemade Lavendar Bath Salt, lovingly made by my adorable and sweet 15-year-old daughter Haylie. Attached was a note of admiration and love, on which she had beautifully written....

Dear Mother,

I thought I could give these bath salts to you, and maybe you will use them (although you never take baths!). I love you so much.


(Awwwww, I know what you are thinking..."Maryanne has raised the sweetest and most perfect child On. This. Earth!")

(Or maybe you are thinking..."Maryanne never takes baths?? Eww!")

(But wait! Hold your thoughts! It goes on!)

Thou art like a cherry blossom, newly blooming and fluttering in the Spring breeze, hither to a white-stained gazebo.

Love, Haylie



I have no idea what you are thinking now, because I have no idea what to think myself.

Other than...."What was this child smoking last night?!" (At Young Women's nonetheless!)

What the HECK?!

It was all sweet and cute until the "hither to a white-stained gazebo" part. That's just weird. Like really weird.

Mine said "To Babe", that was then crossed out and she wrote "to mom" which was then crossed out and then she wrote "to Nan". I told her that was rude so she just gave it to me like that! Wow! It is nice to know there was so much thought put into these! LOL!
