Flower Theft

This weekend proved to be very uneventful which in light of last week was a blessing. We were very excited to welcome Aunt Cindy to Amarillo on Saturday. It is her first time to come up and see where Mom and Nana live so they were proud to show off their digs to her. I was grateful to have her here this morning as she graciously woke up at 5:30 to take me and mom to work out... being out of your car totally sucks! And just for the record I did not ask her to spend her vacation waking up that early, I was completely prepared to take the week off from working out until I got my car back. Alas she and Mom picked me up bright and early this morning and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

On Friday I went over to Mom and Nana's while Drew put in his first hours at Starlight for this season. Mom and I were walking back from taking out the trash and she made a B line for the backyard that is a couple houses down from theirs. I stood and watched as she walked over and pondered some yellow daffodils that had bloomed in the seemingly abandonded yard. She looked at me I instantly knew she was wanting to get this flowers for herself. I told her she probably shouldn't do that because we don't know if anyone lives there or not. So we walked back down the alley in silence. I walked into the house and sat on the couch, she however went straight for her mom to which I hear this conversations...

Mom: "Mom, there are some flowers down in that abandoned yard and Megan won't let me have them. Can I get them please?"
Nana: "Well honey if the yard is abandoned I don't see why not."

Thanks Nana for having my back on this one. Mom walked through the living room straight out the backdoor with a look of "yeah you just try and stop me on this one sista!"

I couldn't help but laugh. She was determined to get her flowers.

I stood back in the alley and watched as she shoveled up these flowers out of the neighbor's yard trying to come up with a story to tell the people we were going to come out of their house screaming at the lady stealing their flowers but noone ever showed and my Mom escaped with her flowers.

We replanted them in their backyard for her to enjoy for a couple of days until our next freeze comes. Her smile made it all worthwhile though!
