Sunday

                

Today was magnificent.  Steve and I went out for breakfast earlier today.  The place we intended to go to was absolutely mobbed.  There had to be 50 people outside waiting and I can only imagine what was inside so we just kept driving.  Like I said, we could have done McDonald's and I would have been happy.  No reservations, just a spontaneous idea for the most part so we knew it would be tough.  We ended up at Denny's and being just the two of us it wasn't a bad wait for a table.  Our food, well that took a bit longer, but it was nice to sit and chat.  I did have to compete with some text messaging, but I lived.  We dropped by my Mother's to say hello and share some good wishes.  They were going to be hitting some open houses so we didn't stick around long.  Besides it had warmed up a great deal and I wanted to get out of my jeans.

 

Karen and I had actually stopped at Mom's yesterday with the hanging baskets we bought.  Karen ordered them from someone she worked with so early Saturday morning we took a ride to pick them up.  It was only about a 10-15 drive, but far enough to see some nice country side.  I had taken my camera and actually took some pictures from the side of the road.  The one of the cows above being one of them.  I am always looking for some background pictures to use with my graphics.  I needed 'real grass' and think I found it!  The fence, the girl, the butterfly, and the additional purple/pink flowers were added by me.  I thought the finishing touches were perfect :)  Bias maybe?

 

The afternoon was very relaxing and I celebrated like a Mom should on her day.  I did nothing!  My nephew's stopped by to see their Mom and I decided to give them some private time and went for a nap :::giggle:::  Perfect, don't you think?  I was up late last night and up early this morning.  By this time the clouds had rolled in and a slight rain started to fall.  It was great climbing into bed and letting the pitter patter of the rain lull me into a deep sleep.  A deep sleep it was, but I knew I was tired. 

 

Thanks to everyone for the Mother's Day wishes, I hope everyone else's day was as expected and perfect in every way.  The comments about my Mom are appreciated as well.  She is a wonderful lady and by far the best!  We all say that though, don't we?  She did get the chance to read the entry and with tears in her eyes she laughed asking 'why did you put that in there.'  Not sure if she was referring to the smack, or just the praises but I know she was thrilled with the attention.  She deserves it!
