M.........other's Day Camping

For quite a while now, Mother's Day Weekend has always meant camping with my older daughter and son-in-law. Their tent camper is roomy and comfortable. This year will be extra special because my younger daughter and sil will be visiting from Boston, and will join us. It should be extra interesting with our latest weather forecast. I took this picture of the camper last weekend which was gorgeous and warm. This weekend we're slated for rain and cold with possible snow! Good thing it has a heater. Can you say "games" instead of "hiking" and "chili" instead of "hamburgers?" No matter what, we'll have a glorious time!!!

M.........other's Day with Camille

Camille, David and I had a lovely Mother's Day experience yesterday. We had the responsibility of delivering 30 Mother's Day bouquets, a project of David's Lions Club. You can see Camille in David's hand in front of a wonderful local greenhouse where we went to pick up the prepackaged beauties. They filled the trunk and Camille posed for a picture on top of them. Then it was off to the nearby City of Plymouth to ring many doorbells. Fortuneately most of the recipients were home and it was such a delight to see the looks on their faces when they received their roses or bouquets of mixed flowers. Some were expecting them; some were not. My favorite, was a lady who was so surprised

because she is not a Mother herself, and her eyes filled with tears and gratitude for the folks who had been kind enough to send them to her. The final picture shows the roses that I received. What a glorious way to celebrate Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all Moms, especially mine!

A.........new Camille; a new experience!

Good thing that Camille was weighed on Friday, because she is already on her way to surprise a little girl in Malaysia. So she quickly changed colors and became quite a helper! First she guarded the pink nylon net that will soon be crocheted into scrubbies. Then she sat on a large box that arrived with my daughter and son-in-law that live here in Wisconsin. They had delivered an early Mother's Day gift from both daughters and sons-in-law. Inside was a brand new set of pots and pans! Seeing as my old ones were almost 45 years old and had become adept at burning dinner, I was thrilled and surprised! Camille fit nicely in the new ladle, but certainly did not want to jump into those shiny pots! How lucky I am! I can honestly say that I am the world's happiest Mom and Mother-in-law...even though there are others that feel the same way!
