When my Mother died in 1990, I requested donations and sent them to the National Arbor Day Foundation and Apple Trees were planted in (MO?) in honor of Mother. Something is living on in her stead and we didn't have the waste and cost of hauling away flowers.
Janet, there could not be a better tribute for your Mom. I must remember this... Imagine apple blossoms every spring, just for her...
On a lighter note... whenever you get going with some of your fun, silly stuff, all I can think of is that song from
The Rocky Horror Show - "Dammit, Janet!" (Pretty much just remember the title, but there ya go... makes ME laugh!
)
Slainte!
