The Monday following Mother's Day: I was a little slow to go today. I had such a great Mother's Day with my family. We had dinner and sat OUTSIDE with intermittent sun, but oh so gloriously green and fresh. My oldest son did some tilling for me and I am all set to hoe and plant sunflowers, pole beans, and basil along with my single tomato plant. We all looked at old photos of the boys and their parents. What was that style of clothing that we wore??? Men wore fitted shorts. There was no sagging unless it had to do with full diapers! I am going to try my hand this coming weekend at archiving the pictures so that we all will have copies of them.
It is a blessing to have my mother so close and healthy. She added her quips about my father. Things that we love to hear repeated. It is lovely to have a daughter-in-law to include in our gatherings and have giggling with us.
I love being a mother more than ever! I hope that my clever, intelligent, and attractive sons think of their mother as one of their most cherished friends, because they are mine!
Oh, yes, I appreciate the flower gifting that goes on during this holiday. Flowers are just such exquisite examples of hope.
