Day 136

A belated Mother’s Day  surprise, a day early… The Dailylife Wife had to work on Mother’s Day, so I had her open her surprises Saturday evening…. (All photos: Nikon Coolpix P7100 with flash.) The Card. The first layer of distraction. Hello Kitty Tatoos and such. Then the Almonds, M&M’s and Twizzlers. Then the big surprise. Her […]
