Della and Olive, I'm howling on this end. I honestly thought I was the only one who did something like that. My "fella" is Aussie.

Not having children, I cannot say for sure, but I think the May Day celebrations of my childhood have gone the way of the dinosaurs. When I was a little girl, we'd make quite a big deal about it. We'd glue brightly colored "flowers" made of tissue paper to the side of paper dishes and the pipe cleaner handle we made. After filling them with candy, we would take them to neighbors' homes, with a special emphasis on delivering them to the elderly.
Makes me feel kinda old now.
