May Day!

 Happy May Day! 

We will deliver a few baskets today.   Some will go to my other baby brothers house for some of his grands that will be visiting on Sunday. 

Far Guy delivered some on Thursday to the Infusion Nurse's children. 


I put bits of tissue paper inside the owl baskets and then the candy.  The glasses turned out really cute! 


Delivered May Baskets to my parents on Thursday night before Bingo.

Hope you all have a wonderful May Day!

I just LOVE the glasses on the May baskets. You outdid yourself this year! Such a sweet thing to do.

Happy May Day to you too! Your May baskets are so cute and I'm sure very appreciated by everyone who received one. One of the ladies brought each of us at Bible Study one on Wednesday. She just used a plastic solo cup and pipe cleaners for handles. She filled them with old fashioned candies.
Take care.
Blessings and love,
Betsy

Love your May baskets, and I’m sure the recipients did too! It was a fun tradition with my children, especially the ring the doorbell and hide to watch the surprised friends when they came to the door part.

Your May baskets are so cute! I remember giving out May baskets as a child in S Dakota. They don't do this here on the West coast.

Every recipient will feel very special. You did a great job and I love the tissue paper. So nice to see your parents, my niece gets married at 5 pm today in Indiana. The weather is clear and mid 70s. Happy for her.

Cheryl says she want to be in her 70's and giving baskets to her parents when they are in their 90's. The Longevity gene does reside in her family.... A few grand parents made it to their 90's after all. As for me, My lineage has a death wish when it comes to taking care of themselves. I'm trying to break the trend. Very cute owls!

Thank you for keeping this tradition alive at least in your little corner of the world. I love it.

Good that you keep this tradition going.

A church delivered one at our doorstep. It was a great gesture. I think it was a great idea for them to drop off goodies and a message too.
