Last year, I divulged a little bit from the normal blog and wrote about my family’s tradition, passed down from my father, to show your favorite teacher appreciation and love by giving her flowers.  My boy’s would go through our extensive gardens, choosing their favorite flowers and cutting their prizes off, wrapping them in wet paper towels and tin foil and bring to their teachers.

Today was no different for my “almost in college” son who went off to take his last SAT, determined to get a higher score and hopefully the next notch for 100% Bright Futures.  Well, my big lug ran back to the car and said “Mommy, we have to bring my favorite person some gardenias from that massive hedge out front.”   We cut off some branches and wrapped it in tin and gave it to the most wonderful of wonders at Billy’s school,  the school attendance Mrs. Johnson.  To all those teachers out there, my sons will forever cut those flowers for you, and for me, my eternal gratitude.
