Hap Hap Happy Monday!!

Happy Monday Sweet Friends,

*

So how was your weekend???

or how was your Mother's Day??

*

Hope the answer is good, delightful, wonderful 

or all of the above. Hope if you are a Mom that 

you got to spend time with your children, in

 person, or on the phone or skype.

*

We had a nice weekend, it was productive and

fun!!  Friday and Saturday we worked in the

bathroom and finished painting the woodwork

and caulking and stuff.  We are just about done,

just a few last details and we will be officially

a done deal.  Can't Wait, I am so excited about

how it looks already, can't wait to see the

 finished product.  So for me that seemed like

 a Mother's Day present to get so much done

on it!!

*

  Just started to clean out the

cabinets in there today.  It has the old wallpaper

on the bottom of the cabinet and am trying to

decide what to do about that!!

*

We watched a movie called "Leap Year" and

it has a PG rating.  It was truly a cute movie,

in fact, we watched it twice,  cause we got

so caught up in the movie we forgot to do

the exercise bike,  so we decided to watch

it a 2nd time and get our exercise,  which

made for another late Friday night!!

*

This is getting to be a pattern here!! lol

Then because we were up so late we had

to sleep in.......not too long after we got up

there was a loud knock at the door, and

I ran for the bedroom cause I was still

in my gown.  

*

It was a Mother's Day surprise from

 Scott and Megan.  

Isn't it neat!!

*

*

They are called Edible Arrangements

*

*

I have seen them before but never

had the pleasure of having one.

But I have now...........

*

*

It was as delicious as it was pretty,  and I am

keeping all the lil skewers and the basket so

I can try and make my own sometime when

we are having a get together.

*

While I was downloading pics I ripped the

wallpaper off the cabinet floor and it came

right off!  So that fixed that!! lol

*

We also got to have Rosie for the weekend,

since Dee went to spend the weekend at

her boyfriends parents house.  I know his

Mom was beside herself with joy,  cause

she doesn't get to see him that often, cause

it is about an hr and a half from where he

lives to their place.  Having Rosie is always

a joy for us!! lol

*

Then Sunday Morning when we were about to

leave for church Scott and Megan showed

 up,  and we were pleasantly surprised. They

drop Joey off sometimes if they are gonna

be here all day or at her parents.

*

 So we went to church and then got our

 favorite smoothie,  and came home to 

DeeAnna making Veggie Lasagna in our

 kitchen.  Jim did a good job keeping it all 

a surprise!

*

She did an awesome job on dinner,  the

lasagna was super delicious,  and she made

a nice salad with a  homemade creamy

 parmesan salad dressing ,  and Scott did

 the garlic bread.. She made 2 pans so

we all had enough to have it for din din

tonight as well!!  Oh yum,  I can hardly

wait,  you know how italian food is...

always better the next day!!

Course,  I don't know if this could taste

any better really!!

*

She set the table really pretty too!

Forgot to take pics as usual.  If I don't

get them before everyone arrives,

I never think of it again!

*

*
I got  lovely cards and gifts

and it was a wonderful day spent

with my precious jewels....

called Family!!

(and yes, Bonnie.....Susan was here too,

as she is every year!!)

*

A very enjoyable day had by all....

oh yes,  and there was cheesecake,

drizzled in chocolate and caramel

with pecans on top!! Thanks to 

hubby!   I got to use our family

~Queen For A Day Plate~

for my dessert,  sort of had to remind

them since I am the first one to break

it in. lol

but it was fun!  Megan already has

decided what she wants for dessert

on her plate when her birthday comes

in November.  Something with straw-

berries!!  lol  Probably strawberry

shortcake!!  She is so adorable!!

*

I spent a good part of the day making

thank you cards for them.

*

Well, Sweet Girls,  You have a Great

Evening with your family!!

*

And I am off to heat up my Veggie

Lasagna................Um Ummmmm!
I can hardly wait!! lol

Love and hugs,

Nellie
