This year was the first Mother's Day I have spent with BOTH my children since I can't remember when!
We are getting ready to move into our 5th wheel camper full-time next month and are thinning out our possessions. Michael came down from West Virginia for the weekend to pick up the things he wanted. Along with my dining room and some bookcases, he surprised me by asking for china and silver and loved what he termed my "retro" Corning Ware!
Rebecca, Davis, Katie and Jackson came up for one day to visit, so I had a house full...and loved it! The kids ran wild, explored every nook and cranny, made a fort under the staircase with blankets, took the dogs on a walk around the pond and worked on crafts for Mommy's Mother's Day gift. I cooked a nice dinner for everyone...the pork tenderloin with apricot glaze was really good, if I do say so myself ;) but have to admit the asparagus were a bit overdone. In her exuberance pointing out which slice she wanted on her plate, Katie knocked over my beer...right into my lap! No big deal...clothes wash. It was an exhausting day, but I enjoyed having all that vitality and activity in my house.
Katie gave me a lovely Mother's Day card that she created on the computer. Then Jackson handed me his, pointing out: "That one's made on the computer, this one is handmade." They are both proudly displayed. Just love those kids so much.
While he was here, Michael fixed Jack's smartphone and introduced us to the wonder of connecting our computer directly to the TV. So cool to see everything on a 46 inch screen! Apparently I can even download movies to my laptop and watch them on TV. He left us an HDMI cord and may have created a monster!
I was surrounded by the people I love most, my children, my grandchildren and my Jack! It was a wonderful weekend and the best Mother's Day!
