One of the things that I like to do in the spring is go to the local Home and Garden Show and look at all of the trade show exhibits that are there.  In addition to the regular trade show exhibit you might expect at any trade show, I like to look at the many machines that are often there.  The tractors and mowers always get my attention!

 

My wife likes looking at the displays that are related to home decorating.  She likes to try to figure out how she can alter what we already have, or how to create similar looking accessories without having to buy the new product on display.  She’s very clever about that.  She also likes to look at the displays themselves.  She sometimes thinks about becoming a vendor at craft fairs and is always looking at different types of displays, to get an idea of what kind she might like to use if she ever does make up her mind to get involved.  I think it is just a matter of time before she does it!  Yesterday I caught her looking at the http://www.gilbertdisplays.com webpage.  When I asked her what she was looking at she said she just “window shopping.”  Yeah, right.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day!  My wife reminded me today that we are going to take my mother out to eat breakfast tomorrow morning.  Last year we took her to her favorite restaurant for Mother’s Day and although we were seated quickly it took forever to get our food, and when it came it was cold.  We were very disappointed and said that we would not go there again.  So this year we will give her a choice between the local pancake house, or two different big chain breakfast places.  I’m sure she’ll be happy just to be going out!  It is a big ordeal to take her anywhere because she is disabled and it is hard for her to get around.
