I had ordered the painting "Legends of the South" by Mort Kunstler and thought if it arrived in time I would give it to Jen as a Mother's Day present. Well, it was delivered late Tuesday afternoon, She arrived shortly after I had unwrapped it, and I called to her, "I've got you your Mothers Day present." She pointed out that it is not yet Mother's Day, but I answered that she will be in Baton Rouge helping her brother and sister-in-law celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
I presented her with the beautiful picture; she looked at it and laughed. Not a laugh of delight but if a laugh can be sarcastic her's was.
The gift problem for Mother's Day is not solved. I guess I'll get her a new iron, or maybe she'd love a George Foreman grill.
(Just a note. The picture is great and accompanying the print are two old stamps and a worn three dollar bill of Confederate money. For the price I paid, I expected a 30 dollar bill, or at least a 10.)
