    Happy Mother's Day to you all, whether your babies are people or critters, born from you or not. Rebecca is right, we are all nurturing others and that counts!
    Too much to catch up on, have read all the posts, but no time to comment. Eating isn't bad, not great, but not bad. Wedding day is just under two weeks away, bride to be keeps changing the time of the rehearsal, I've already changed an app't once to accommodate the original time, fortunately the new time works without me changing anything again. Won't change anything again tho! Hope everyone has a lovely day! Weather here is amazing today!!

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    DD and I did a craft together today and I think it turned out pretty good for my first one. I’m going to make another one for my cousin’s wife. She has cancer and just finished her last class for her Masters.

    I love this! Where did you get the door and window?

    I got everything from the ACMoore craft store. Nothing was expensive and everything together cost about $15.

    We went to my DnL's mothers for lunch today and had a great time chatting and watching the children play in the pool. Chicken salad on croissants and chocolate pie...Yum!

    Well, I received a call from my Nuke son, and he has been trying to pass all his tests, but the nuclear program and him were not meant to be. I was worried about him, because he was stressing out, so now he can relax a bit. Presently he's in what's called "hold" with about 10 others waiting on paperwork, schools to open up etc. So he's relieved and excited for his next part of his Navy journey. I guess he's been looking at being a yeoman, which is a pencil pusher. He is great with that, putting things in order, etc. It was nice to hear from him!

    My eldest has yet to call, and he's right up the street! If he forgets, the friendly ribbing and guilt trip I will give him, he'll have no choice but to remember next year! He has never been the kid that remembered holidays, birthdays, but to me that's just what adults do.
    When each son graduated from high school they were given a day planner with the addresses of family all filled in. Also, year of birthdays posted, and a listing of home addresses to keep track of where they've lived. So there isn't an excuse about not knowing!

    Not sure if I'm going to be treated to dinner or not. But whatever happens, I feel blessed none the less.
    Enjoy the day y'all!

    Got cute card from DYS yesterday and a call today. He always picks out the most appropriate cards, so I know he reads several before picking any card out for us.

    DOS came over and wished me Happy Mother's Day and got a card, 4 flamingo coasters, and a flamingo mat to go outside by the door.

    Louis and I went out last night because we knew everywhere would be packed today. Had to drive into town because I was out of my Lamictal (by tonight - DH was not particularly happy about it; but, "Miss Daisy" is still having to be 'driven around'. Then we went to the DQ and got a small blizzard each and sat in the car. I went inside to get quicker service we were about 3 from the order box; and about 7 from the window. I think everybody had the same idea - and it is 'hot' out as well.

    Louis is now asleep in his chair. He had said he wanted to come in and do 'nothing' ... so that is what he is doing (right now).

    Love the decorated pot. My surviving violet has just started blooming. BFF gave the an orchid whose flowers have all dropped off. I also noticed that both of the other orchids, still surviving, at putting out new leaves, so maybe they'll live. I'm going to cut the stalk back on the one I was given; but, waiting to it to die back before doing so.

    Happy Birthday Penny. Whenever we travel to foreign countries I always have a hard time choosing food. Usually I will just get what DH gets. Happy Mother’s Day to all. I hope it was a restful and peaceful day for you all. We went to church then came home and made a big salad. Went to the Y to work out, now we are watching golf on TV.
    Terry- love the pots.

    Happy mothers day all! Worked in flower beds all morning, sealed cement statues, vases, and bird bath, had cake and ice cream with now 15yo grand daughter, dinner at cracked barrel. Feeling accomplished and peaceful looking at the beds. :)
    I am catching up, but slower than ya'll type.

    Did 30 minutes on the recumbant bike then 20 minutes of yoga. The plan for tomorrow is to do some hula hoop, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.

    Barbie – I’m not exactly sure how much mulch I got, I would guess about 7 or 8 yards. No, this guy right around the block from us delivered it to us. Didn’t charge any delivery charge, probably since we’re so close. At least that’s what I think. We estimated that we’d need 10 yards, but that was a rough estimate and didn’t take into account the fact that some areas don’t need mulch (like where a bush is). So we might be able to get by with the 7 or 8 yards. I’m thinking that this morning I’ll go out and start to just pile the mulch, not spread it out yet. How much did you get?

    Penny – do you make a pattern of something for you to crosstitch? Is it very expensive to do? I like crosstitching and there are some things that I’d like but I can’t find a pattern for. Your bread looks so appetizing, glad I don’t have it on my table right now. Happy Birthday

    Terry – lovely craft

    Spread some of the mulch today. After putting down 20 tons of riverrock this is a piece of cake! Then went in the pool. Perhaps tonight we’ll get some of my ceramics up on the pergola. Now who could ask for a better Mother’s Day than this???? Happy Mother’s Day to everyone Update: ceramics didn't get up. Why does Vince procrastinate the way he does....unless it's something he wants. Like when we closed the pool we knew that the covers for the handrails needed to be replaced. We threw out the old ones. Did he order new ones then. NOOOOO So now the handrails are really hot. BUT....he ordered a cantilever umbrella that he wanted.

    Jess and Denise called

    Katla – so sorry about the car. Hope you can get it taken care of

    Happy Mother's Day to all mothers or not. Have had a good day, Dson came over for a little while and brought flowers and candy. We are going out to dinner at another time when my DGD can come with us. DD and I went to the nursery and bought plants for the gazebo area. Will try to get those planted later this evening. It is hot out there now. We found some evening sky petunias. They are purple but when exposed to the right amount of heat they get little white spots on them like stars in an evening sky.

    Happy birthday Penny!!

    Terry - Cute project.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    :)Michele, I got three yards of fine bark delivered by a guy with a small truck for a fairly reasonable price. Last year I got about half that much in bags from Wal Mart and it was a pain to load them into the back of the car. I wanted more last year, so this year Jake suggested getting more and having it delivered from the bark, soil, and rock dealer nearby. I weed by hand and lay the bark one handful at a time so this will keep me busy for awhile. But this year, I won't run out and I won't wish I had more. Our yard is small. We moved here six years ago when Jake decided that he was finished with yard work and wanted a house with almost no yard.

    :'(Katla, what distressing news about your car.

    <3 Barbie
