A stormy Saturday has been followed by a sunny, though cool and windy, Mother's Day.
Yesterday's mail brought sweet cards from my kids. Daughter sent an unusual one to Mother...a greeting designed on handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds. The back of the card instructs the recipient to tear it up and thoroughly moisten the pieces and plant them for a colorful wildflower garden. Mother wants to admire the card for a few days before she "plants" it.
Of course, Mother and I exchanged cards, too, today. And this morning, Hubbie presented me with the perfect choice of Hallmark musical cards. The front says, "My feelings for you on this Mother's Day can be expressed in one word." Inside, the card reads, "Va-va-va-voom!" A Latin couple is shown dancing as the card plays a Tango.
Hubbie also treated Mother and me to a buffet lunch at our town's popular restaurant at the river, where I was able to choose a salad, veggies, and baked chicken. We skipped dessert, because Mother said she had made a surprise yummy at home (shown above)...heart-healthy Jell-o parfaits, with sliced fresh strawberries, and fat-free topping, served with small slices of sponge cake.
Phone calls from Daughter and Son, put the finishing touch on Mother's Day 2008.
