Mother's Day

I hope all of you wonderful Mothers had a great day on Sunday! It was a special day for me! First, because I got to share my daughter Mary’s first mother’s day with her, and secondly, because all of my daughters really made me feel honored. They all pitched in with their Dad and made one of my favorite meals. In fact I think it should become a Mother’s Day tradition! We had homemade grilled hamburgers. Yes, I said hamburgers. I have come to embrace the fact that a good old fashioned hamburger is one of my favorite things to eat. Along with the burgers and all the trimmings we had Mary’s wonderful twice baked potatoes! Of course let’s not forget the great chocolate cake with chocolate icing that Rachel made, add Rebekah’s sweet tea,Bethany’s finishing touches on the table setting and I’ll just say it was wonderful! Oh, I must not forget to mention the beautiful fresh flowers that Tim contributed! Those girls and their Dad sure know what makes me feel special!
 

My granddaughter Julia was feeling a bit feverish due to teething so all she wanted to do was lay on Maime (I might add that her mommy wasn’t available and that’s the only reason I would do). It was a dream come true! Julia and I literally laid on the sofa all afternoon, drifting in an out of a nap while everyone else was busy in the kitchen. Cuddling with Julia is another one of those special moments that words can’t define.

What more could a mother/grandmother desire? Well, there is only one more thing I would have wanted; my son-in-law being with us! Benjamin had to work on Sunday and boy did we all miss him. He adds so much life to our family and has become a fixture that we all love and appreciate. Though he couldn’t be there he made my day by calling and wishing me a happy Mother’s day. What a great guy!
I almost forgot to mention that my children all put together and got me rocking chairs for my front porch.
 
 

I am looking forward to the many memories that will be made in those chairs. Making Memories, Maime
