Here’s an unexpected side effect of being the primary contact for someone in a nursing home – I now have a collection of vases.
People keep sending my mom flowers. Which is lovely. It makes her room more pleasant and she knows people care.
But once the flowers are wilted, I’m left to take away the vase. I’m not sure what to do with them. I only need so many vases at home. I’m thinking I might cut some peonies from my yard once they’re bloomed and take a vase of them to the nurse’s station for the folks who take care of Mom. And the others…can go in a garage sale. Or something.
