Mother's Day is one of those days that as time goes by it means something different to me than in did when my kids were young. When all my kids were home, we celebrated with wonderful handmade creations that I still have and treasure to this day. Now, its not the gifts that I receive but the time that we spend together. Saturday the girls and I spent the morning at garage sales and then on to help Anna get settled in Lindsey's house for the summer. Just the fact that the two of them want me to do these kinds of things with them is the biggest blessing of the weekend. They also gave me this wonderful necklace from the Vintage Pearl. When it comes to blessings, my nest is full even if it is only the one I wear around my neck.
Look at this great meal. Jeff honored his mother and I on Saturday by cooking up this fabulous meal. We topped it off with Strawberry Banana Cream Pie and with the wonderful weather were able to eat out on the back porch.
This is the new bird feeder that Jeff gave me. Our last one was destroyed in the the hail storm that we had a couple of weeks ago. The package says that it is squirrel proof, only time will tell if that is actually the case. It was a great weekend, that seemed to have a it of a bird theme, nest necklace, barbacue chicken, and brid feeder, that's kind of random, but I loved it.
Hey Jeff,
How about a repeat performance on that Mother's Day meal when you are at the lake over Memorial Day? :)

That meal looks delicious!! And I LOVE that necklace from the Vintage Pearl...just wish I knew how many eggs I was going to need in my nest. ;) I think that is so awesome that Lindsey & Anna are living together this summer - how fun for them!! I'm missing bible study and thinking about joining you all again in the future... :)

It sounds nice. I love doing things with my sons, and their wives. It is fun to pal around with them now that they are adults.
