Hope your weekend was a good one. Ours was bittersweet. Our friends, Margaret and Graham have been here all week and we took them to the airport Saturday morning. We met Marianne and Greg and after we went to the airport, the four of us enjoyed breakfast at The Original Pancake House in Charlotte. Marianne and I each got the Dutch Baby, one of their specialities. It is an air filled yeasty pancake served with lemon syrup, lemons, butter and powdered sugar. Yum!! It was delicious but I didn't eat anything the rest of the day!! (I didn't count the calories!)
After breakfast, we drove around Charlotte reminiscing as we drove past our Grandparents house and the house we were living in when Marianne was born. Then we went to the memorial service and the celebration of life for our cousin, Bobby. It was a really nice service with many sharing their stories and memories of Bobby. He was such a "bigger than life" guy who never met a stranger whose flame was snuffed out too soon. May he rest in peace.
Today we picked up my mom to take her out to lunch. When Sonny walked by her hanging fern plant that was on her front porch, a bird flew out and perched on her roof. Upon further investigation, we discovered there was a nest with an egg in it in the fern. The mother bird kept her eye on us and her nest. When we went inside, she resumed her perch in the fern on her egg. I was able to get some pretty good pictures.
We thought it was just a pigeon but a couple of people have told us it looks like a Mourning Dove.
We had a nice bar-b-que lunch with Mom, Angela, Marianne, Greg, Derek and Harrison at Sonny's where all mothers ate for free! That makes it a little better for everyone! After lunch, we went to BJ's and then home. I had a few cards to make to mail out as well as coming up with ideas for Stamp Club this month.
