Happy Mother's Day!

 I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's Day...i know i did!  It started out with a delicious breakfast cooked by Justin, while Jordyn supervised.  "Sausage, eggs and potatoes" is what she always requests from Daddy when i have to work on weekends, so she thought it would the perfect meal.
 Here we are, after stuffing ourselves good...and look at the wonderful weather we had too!
 My mother's day loot consisted of a handmade card and gift from Jordyn, a few Photoshop Tutorial DVD's by Susi Lawson courtesy of Justin, and a personalized mothers day book i made for my mom (and also had one made for my sisters and i).  I make one every other year and they are always a hit with the family!  All in all...a nice haul!  I cant wait to sit down with those tutorials...i have another DVD of hers and its awesome.
 Then i kicked the afternoon off by drinking a bloody mary and sitting at our patio set left to us by Berdena...we just got it out and it sits right on the river, so its a cozy spot.
 Meanwhile, Justin and Jordyn went to work on my cold frame...
 Next, they headed over to Connies to gather some rhubarb plants.  She brought a few over for my garden (thanks Connie), but had some extras growing around her property, so they were up for grabs!
 So, with the cart loaded, Jordyn and Daddy set off to planting them in the yard.  They had a very productive day...while i lounged around doing nothing.  After the last few weeks, it was just what i needed!
For dinner we had T-bones, salad, grilled mushrooms and onions, and mashed potatoes...then we had cocktails and strawberry shortcake at Grandma and Grandpas house across the meadow.  The perfect end to the perfect day...though after all that food and lounging, i feel a diet coming on :)  Hurray for Mothers Day...and to my mom out in Cali....Happy Mothers Day to you!  I love you~

The best Mother's day is one where you lovelies give you a kiss and a cuddle! Anything above that is the icing on the cake. Glad your Mother's day was full of all the right stuff! (We had Mother's Day a while ago, and I had plenty of love too!)
