I hope everyone enjoyed today and had a great Mothers Day. Mine was very nice. My family came over late in the afternoon and we went out on the lake for a couple of hours. When we returned, we got the shish-kabobs ready and my dear hubby lit the grill. While everything was heating up, we all enjoyed a nice visit out on the back deck. It was a beautiful day .... not too hot and not rainy for a change.
My mom opened her presents. I wish I'd remembered to take a picture of the mini-album Marianne made for her. It was so, so cute! She put a few of the pictures from her 80th birthday (last July) in it. Marianne and I are going to put together a big album for her with the rest of the pictures .... one of these days! Angela gave her a big Starbucks coffee mug and I gave her a card! My present will be given to her later. I had a friend watercolor a picture for me of my grandmother's house in Charlotte where my mom grew up. I gave it back to her last week to add a few more touches to it and it is not ready yet. Oh well, what I wrote in my card to her brought a tear to her eye anyway! My sisters told me I sure knew how to "kiss up"! You know, I'm the favorite daughter, don't you???!!! That's the joke with us anyway.
Marianne made all of us purses too. She's been a busy beaver!! She also has been working on her convention swaps plus made a gel card all by herself! I'm so proud of her.
Ashley called me first thing this morning and I opened my gift from her while she was on the phone. It is a beautiful Vera Bradley hipster bag. I love it!
I'm still waiting on that call from my son. He sent my mom a present and a card, so don't guess my call will be coming any time soon. My mom feels so bad about it, but it is what it is and there's nothing I can do about it.
This is my Vera Bradley bag from my daughter.
This is the bag my sister made.
Here's Mom right after Harrison popped a shrimp in her mouth!
Marianne and Derek.
