Mothers Day always seems to draw strong opinions from women. Many think that the day is too over-the-top, which is probably true as events for Mothers Day are always planned by men. Nina gave me an ultimatum: Don’t . Buy . Me . Anything . For . Mothers . Day! So I didn’t. A package came in the mail the next day. She looked at it and said, “Here’s my Mothers Day present!” It was a two-dvd movie she’d ordered online. I guess that’s the way you get the present you want on Mothers Day!

She was also quite happy that the gift given at Church to the mothers was popcorn (bagged, popped popcorn) from the local popcorn store. All the popcorn came home … in Nina’s stomach. So that part of the day was very good.

After Church we went over to Soda Springs to spend the evening with my mother. Click on the picture for further details. Actually, we started down the road. Nina remembered something we had forgotten. Oh well, that could wait for another time. Then she remembered something else. Should we go back? “Nah. We’ll use it ourselves or give it to someone else.” Then she remembered we’d forgotten a really important something. We were about 15 minutes from the house, but we turned around and retrieved all the forgotten items. That made us about forty-five minutes later than expected … causing a bit of worry on my mother’s part. She is a world-class worrier. We had a great visit, got her checkbook balanced, had a nice meal, and came back home.

It was a delightful Mothers Day.

TTFN!
