Mother's Day

Following our annual tradition, we went to church with my Mom on Mother's Day.  (I was a little worried this might not happen, since Iris had a fever late the night before...but YAY!...it went away by morning.)

When asked where she wanted to lunch, Mom chose a local Chinese establishment that is always very yummy, filling and Lucy-friendly.  So we ate and then busted out the cards and presents.

Here are Sherry & the kids with the card they picked out for her.  I was quite shocked at how easily they all agreed on this one  for her...

Iris bought me a mug...she put great thought into this, because yellow is my favorite color, I love to drink tea, and I love TJMaxx.  And she made me a card...

Clyde spent a couple hours picking out my present, according his father.  A good bit of that time was smelling candles...he picked very wisely!!  Love the scents!  And he picked out a pretty funny card...a very Clyde-esque card :)

Lucy crafted me some flip-flops by tying bandana strips around the straps, using several bright colors she knows I like.  And she made me a card in her art class....

The three sweeties!!  I am so blessed!!  Can't even explain what a blessing EACH ONE is!!

Sherry got Mom several tops...that's always scary...picking out clothes...yikes!  She did SO awesome!

So, umm..I went a little over the top with garden decorations because I'm so willy-nilly, I couldn't settle on just one.  No, I am not trying to turn my mother into the garden sculpture lady.  But, to her credit, Mom found a home for each one very elegantly  :)

Lucy made Nena a card...

Clyde and Iris picked one out together...

And they all picked out this hummingbird window hanger for her, because she's fond of window humming birds...and window hangers...

We spent a good bit of the afternoon at a park and it was lovely!  I actually felt well enough to walk a little while, which was nice.

Then Stephen took me out to get a Mother's Day radio installed in the van!!  It was SO exciting to finally have one that works again!!  I've been putting it to good use.

Hope everyone had a beautiful Mother's Day!!
