Mother's Day

Well this Mother's Day was just great. I have never seen my mother be so happy. I unfortunately did not give her any cards or gifts this year. I did not even make her a breakfast of blackened bacon, crusty toast, a droplet of orange juice, and enough eggs to feed a small army. The one nice thing I did do was wish her a "Happy Mother's Day!" That is all she really is looking for. I did get a gift, but it is just a book that I am passing on to my sister, who is a mother. The book is one that I have been reading a little at a time. It's an anthology collection of Irma Bombeck stories. I know in her household she could use a good laugh.
So before I had a chance to give my gift to my sister, I went with my mother and father to a tea place called "Lovejoy's." It is a tea shop and antique store across the street. It was a lovely time. They had little sandwiches, fruit, salad, and petite fours. All with sparkling water infused with pomegranates.
After the lunch, it was time to see the nephews. William was really excited about a special gift all for him, a portable ball pit with a small tunnel to get in and out of. The setup of this structure is like that of a tent, with poles to hold everything in place. The only difference is that there is a flap in the back for the tunnel. Inside the ball pit is where the balls go. He was so excited, he did not even wait for it to be erected. He charged inside as soon as the package was opened. To him, this was the coolest thing to have. He was having so much fun, that his brother Jake wanted to come in. But William would not allow it. The only person allowed inside was his Uncle Ron. So, as soon as dinner became ready, the ball pit moved into the other room. After dinner, Mom, Dad, and I went back home. I'm sure to get something for my mother for next year.
