Day After Mother's Day

Good Morning,  Good Morning,

 Good Morning,

It's time to rise and shine

Good Morning, Good Morning, 

Good Morning

I hope your feeling fine!

(It really was morning when I started this post!  lol)

That greeting.....

 is a song from a record we used to have for my

 children when they were little, called "Bull Frogs and

 Butterflies" I think, it was!  Anyone remember that????

Don't know why but this lil song is running through my

 head this morning.  Must be leftovers from

 Mother's day memories!!  lol

I sang it to them, many times in the morning to get them

 out of bed.  When they were little they really liked it..........

 not so much as teenagers!!  but I sang it  anyway!!  lol

I am who I am!!  Like it or not!!

Actually,  I felt they were pretty blessed to get out of

bed with a singing Mom,  certainly beats getting out

of bed with a Grandmother screaming at you!

That was my reality as a kid!!

And they do remember it..... something came up 

about it not too long ago and my daughter laughed

and said I was just telling someone (at work)

about that the other day!! 

I am hoping that was a good Memory, it was 

certainly intended that way!!  lol

Well,  enough of my stroll down memory lane!!

So..............

How was your Mother's Day????

I truly hope it was a day full of love

 and joy or better

yet, a weekend full of love and joy!!  

Have to say mine was a very Sweet Weekend.

Scott and Megan couldn't come Sunday,  and

Dee and Jerry couldn't come Saturday,  so I had

 2 separate Mother's Day Celebrations,  and

they were both delightful!!

Saturday Scott and Megan brought me lunch.

Subway had these new orchard chicken salad

sandwiches I had been wanting to try,  so they

got those,  and Scott made this wonderful

pasta salad to go with it.  I have to say I am

impressed with his culinary skills,  he really

did an awesome job,  and we have been

able to enjoy it a few more times since he

made plenty.  Um Um!

(Wish I had thought to take a pic of it - it was not

only tasty it was pretty too)

They spent the afternoon with us,  and they

bought me a sweet card and a  new game, 

 called "Apples to Apples", 

 so we spent some of the time

trying out the new game,  it was really quite

fun,  and it is a game that doesn't require

a lot of thinking,  so you can talk in between

if you want......I have to say I enjoy games

like that......cause If I have to put so much

thought into it that you can't converse while

you are doing it,  I will lose everytime!!  lol

Then we had some frozen yogurt with honey

cinnamon and nuts on top,  and Scott was 

odd man out with chocolate and caramel.

That would be my usual pick too!

Then Sunday Dee and Jerry came over

around 2:30,  so we got to spend some 

one on one time with them as well,  then

my SIL came over at 5,  and we all had

a lovely dinner of London broil,  baked

potatoes,  salad and rolls.

(Quick shot of table just before I sat down)

Then I got to open my lovely cards with

a gift certificate to Kohl's from Dee and Jerry,

  and  some $$$ from my sister-in-law, very

Nice......as I could use something new

for summer!  So that will be fun!!

Hubby also bought me a lovely card, and this

pretty topiary when we were at Sam's

last week.  It is made from a dwarf azalea.

Isn't it gorgeous. I just love it!!

(I did several vignettes with my new topiary,

and had it in my kitchen till Sat., then as you can

see in the pic above moved it to the dining room.

If time allows, I will probably do tabletop Tuesday

with them tomorrow) 

and I even got a sweet card from Dee's

roommate, certainly an unexpected

surprise.  She is a sweetie too!

Just like the rest of the kids!!

  We also, played a few rounds of "Apples to 

Apples", and  they all enjoyed the game as

well,  as we had some peanut butter cookies

and coffee for dessert.  We are trying to

go easy on the desserts as we want to

be able to fit in our dresses by the end

of the week!!  lol

So what an enjoyable, sweet and blessed

Mother's Day,  I had............

These guys really know how to bring

joy to a woman's heart!!

Please tell me about your Mother's day,

would love to hear!!

Well, just 4 more days.......................

can hardly believe it!!

Thanks for visiting,  love hearing from you!!

Love, Hugs,  and

May your Blessings Be Many!!
