I know what you mean, my birthday is next month and my husband and 5 year old daughter asked me what I want and I said, oh - you 2 go to my favorite local nursery and pick something - I saw so many pretty things there this weekend and he looked like a deer in the headlights at the prospect of "choosing" something on his own!<BR/>Kate - you should show us a picture of your mushroom tea light!<BR/>Pam -- and we still go, though now Dustin passes on the excursion (he's 24 after all) but we take his sister Kallie, who's 5. Maybe my Dad will take up the tradition with her some day!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-11907771921979975922008-01-29T21:40:00.000-06:002008-01-29T21:40:00.000-06:00How sweet that they always got you something at th...How sweet that they always got you something at the garden festival.

I imagine that you continue to enjoy this event, remembering your son and your father buying a special gift for you. <BR/><BR/>I was reminded of my father taking my son when he was eight <BR/>to the garden centre and letting him pick out something for me. He bought me a hanging heavy -metal tealight holder shaped a bit like a mushroom. I always hang it in the garden.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-46368511773164122032008-01-29T16:40:00.000-06:002008-01-29T16:40:00.000-06:00I've been the beneficiary also of Father's Day gif...I've been the beneficiary also of Father's Day gifts for the garden.
