Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day one and all! What a wonderful day I had. The morning started out with my wonderful husband bringing me coffee upstairs. I was already out of bed, but still it's the gesture that counts! I was then treated to a lovely surprise on the deck. All 3 of my guys put together a small water fountain surrounded by beautiful plants. This explains all of the banging and giggling that I heard coming from the garage the night before. Our deck has now become a mini oasis. Maybe the zen like beauty of the ornamental grasses, Calla Lilies and river rock combined with the tranquil sounds of the running water will help me to remain calm as my darling children run around the backyard like screaming banshees, terrorizing the neighborhood! One can hope! :) If that doesn't do it, I'm sure adding a glass a wine to the mix will!!!!


Early afternoon, my mom and Terry came into town and went to Bravo with us. We enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day brunch with everything from an omelet station and homemade waffles, to beef stroganoff and stuffed pork tenderloin. To top off the delicious meal, there was an unbelievable selection of desserts ranging from homemade pastries to chocolate covered strawberries and white chocolate mousse! Needless to say all of us left with very full tummies!!! The boys were on their best behavior and for the most part were quite the little gentlemen. I couldn't ask for a better Mother's Day gift than that!
