I have a delightful MIL......who has always done so much for her family........when DD2 was very,very tiny she looked after her every Wednesday for 2 years........so that I could take a City & Guilds Patchwork and Quilting class......even though she ran a club for the disabled on a Wednesday.......DD loved going to the club with her.......everybody thoroughly spoiled her.......it's probably where she developed her penchant for chocolate!!!
MIL is now a mother........grandmother........and great grandmother......and today is her birthday.
I just love this photo......it looks like she and little A are having such fun together.
She has always loved gardening.....but outdoor gardening is now too much for her.......she's in her mid eighties.....so her house is always full of indoor plants and flowers........this delightful LOTV image just seemed perfect for her.
I hope she likes it....and realises just how much she's appreciated.
