Mother's Day

When one of your daughters asks what you want for Mother's Day, it's okay to tell them.  I said I wanted a corsage.  Thanks, Mildred, for reminding me that this is a great day to wear one.  Remember when families wore a flower on Mother's Day?  Some would cut them out of the yard on the way to church.  I loved mine.  It made me feel special all day - - - just like I was supposed to cuz it was a day to celebrate me and the gifts God has given us - - our precious daughters.

Our younger daughter gave me the pendants below.  She is the one who makes jewelry and knows I love these to wear individually on my silver necklace.  She is great at picking colors and styles for me, too.

My sweetie-pie husband remembered that I wanted a radio/CD player.  This one is also an alarm clock.  It's only about 10 by 6 inches in size and less than 2 inches deep.  It's fun how much technology can fit in a small space.  The best part is he programmed it for me because I obviously wasn't understanding the simple directions.

And I usually don't talk about material things but wanted to share how my loved ones blessed me with items they knew would make me happy.

Another gift today was the gift of sharing lunch with friends and family.  We were invited to Mamaw's again.  She is our son-in-law's grandmother.  His parents and sister's family were there, too.   It was delicious as usual but just being with them is the best part of the meal.

And you know the expression - - - look what the cat drug in?  Well, Kit Kat

found a playmate and brought it up onto our screened-in deck.  I know it's probably part-rodent but we didn't want to see the cat kill a cute little chipmunk.  It was definitely doing its best to avoid that fate, too.  So we distracted Kit-Kat and showed  Chip 'n' Dale's cousin the way back into the woods.

 - - - and whether you are a mom or just the child of one, I pray you have had a wonderful day of celebration on this beautiful Sunday!
