What a lovely day! All of my children (and grandchildren and great grandchild) spent the day with me. The boys, John and Scott, bought the groceries, and John did all of the cooking. We had barbecued ribs, cheeseburgers and hotdogs. I picked spinach and lettuce from the garden for a big green salad, Amy brought potato salad, macaroni salad and a fruit platter. There was beer with my home canned tomato juice, wine and soft drinks, and milk for the little ones.
Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day, Amy, Bryan, Alicia, Alicyn, Scott, Kris, Kevin, John, Carol, Shannon, Shayna, Sierra, Ethan, Remington, Eric, Brad & Kaylee!
The flowers are lovely. Thank you John and Amy.
I'll always have a hummingbird hovering near my patio, thanks to Scott.
I cherish that little plaster hand print, just as I cherish my daughter Shannon.
It was truly a happy Mother's Day at Granny's house.

What a sweet, heartfelt note, and a lovely hummingbird hanging. It must have been so nice to have your whole family around you! Happy Mother's Day, Granny!

Happy Mother's Day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHappy mother's day...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Mother's Day. All my mothers live across the country (one in Colorado - Mom, and one in Kansas - my MIL). I always send them gifts. My mom got freshly picked organic vegetables overnighted to her. Not mine though - from California. My mom loves that gift and asked me to send it to her every year. She is a practical person just like me. My MIL has always gotten flowers or plants in the past, but I just couldn't do it this year. I was looking at the crappy inartistic flower balls that they all have online. So I got her some of the best coffee in the world. Hawaiian coffee. My kids are also out of state so we played online games together and were hooked up to voice chat all afternoon long. Mine was good but it would be great fun to have a Mother's Day like yours where everyone can get together.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet!!! Its so nice to hear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Wonderful Mother's Day for a very special and wonderful person!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day Granny!
i think you must be a clever woman, with all your schemes, and a kind woman, to share them on your blog. i am not surprised you are so appreciated. your idea of the tomatoes in bottomless buckets will be employed in my garden, thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteThe day was really a blessed one for you...my family is so far spread over the Country that's a hard feat for me to get.Everything sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a special day!!
ReplyDeleteSue, believe me, that was a first! But it won't be the last, now that I know how well they can do it.

Thank you, Donna. You be sure to anchor those buckets securely to something, so they don't topple under the weight of the mature plants!

Ginny, yes it was. I'm lucky all of my children live nearby.

Sounds like a lovely day! I just love (!) the hummingbird mobile - I collect hummingbird items. Any ide where I could get one of those?
ReplyDeleteZentmrs, is't it pretty? I'll try to remember to ask where they bought it and let you know.
ReplyDeleteZentmers, I found the tag for it, and it was made by Sunset Vista Designs Co., Inc. of Rancho Cucamonga, CA

It's called a hummingbird bouncy. I found a set of three here, but it looks like they are only sold in quantity to dealers.
