Blessings, definate blessings!

 My older sister and I worked together to plan a great Mother's Day get together with our mother the Friday before.  We wanted to have more of a quality time experience with her rather than to spend a lot of money on something she really didn't need.  She enjoys watching birds and wildlife so we got her a birdfeeder stand with a little birdbath and a pretty glass birdfeeder with seed.  My sister also brought some of her homemade vanilla oatmeal soap and I crocheted a soap holder body scrubber for her.  Oh, and I brought her some red roses from my rose bush.  After setting up the bird bath and feeder we headed to a nearby town where we toured an old mansion then headed to a grill house for a late lunch.  We had a lot of fun and got to spend some precious time with our mother!  The only thing that would have made it even better was if our younger sister could have joined us!  She did call before we left Mom's house for a short phone visit but we did miss her company for our afternoon adventures.

My momma laughing!  I love to see her this way!

  1. I'm so glad you both were able to do this with Mom. Definately wish I could have been there, but was glad I was able to make the phone call while you all were still there. I love the picture of Mom laughing!

    1. I know! She thought it was horrible of her but she doesn't see what we see! I love to see her laughing! It reminds me of all the times when we were younger that she'd be silly and starting laughing her laugh!

  2. Wasn't it fun? And yes, it would have been even better if our little sis could have been there in person, too. You got a good pic of Mom laughing! The ones I took are all with her eyes closed...but all with that great laughing smile!
