Mothers Day - A little late!

I know its been a week ago, but I'm finally getting around to telling you about my Mothers Day.  It was a really nice weekend, and the celebration covered several days.  :)

It started on Friday when Bob brought home these pretty flowers.  He was going to get something for Mothers Day, but picked these up instead because he knew I was having a long and crazy day at work.


We both had Saturday off and spent the day getting things done at home.  In the late afternoon we went to Heather and Andrews house.  We haven't seen them since the whole Covid thing started and they've been working on their house.  There was lots of painting and fixing up that we wanted to see.  It looks so good!  They've made a big change in that house in the year they've lived there.

 They gave me this cute little daisy plant.  It's so cheerful!

They also gave me this necklace - "It is well, with my soul".  I love it!

We had supper with them and enjoyed our time together.

On Sunday, our church met for the first time in several months.  There were lots of things done to prepare for this, including meeting with medical people.  The chairs were set so families could sit together, but more distance between the rows.  There was no nursery, no children's programs...  E-mails went out ahead of time with how things were going to go.  People were also told that no one would be judged if they didn't feel comfortable in coming, we would be there for those who wanted to come, and would be streaming for those who didn't.  It went well and it was so good to see everyone again.  We had quite a few people come from other churches because they just wanted to be in church in person again.

After church we had lunch, and then Aaron, Laura and the girls came over.  We haven't seen them either in such a long time.   Believe it or not, I forgot to get any photos of the girls!

Here's a card the girls made me.  They also made me these little bead art creations.  Ruby's is the heart, which she informed me meant love.  Alaina worked hard to make this pretty sunrise.  Laura and Aaron also gave us a gift certificate to go out for supper when the restaurants open back up.  We spent a few hours together and enjoyed it so!


Before supper we had a Zoom call with all of our kids, including Andy and Nikki in Kentucky.  We've done several of these lately and although it's not as good as being together in person, it sure is fun!

Monday, it was back to work.  It was a long day and I didn't end up getting home until 6:30.  When I got home, Bob was already gone because he had a meeting.  But, he left a note saying to check the fridge in the garage, as he had found something waiting for me when he got home.

It was this fun edible arrangement from Andy and Nikki!  There were grapes, strawberries, pineapple and some yummy chocolate covered strawberries.  Everything was good!

It was a fun Mothers Day weekend, and of course the best part was seeing my kids and grandkids after a long time apart.
