Mother's Day

What a wonderful day! I saw both of my children, my mother, my sister, my niece, my grandmother and spoke to 2 of my aunts. had a text moment with my sister in law....Family is sure a blessing! I did miss seeing my step daughter Molly but will hopefully get to see her tomorrow. After having brunch at an amazing home town restaurant "Max and Ermma's" went to coffee at my sisters. I also got to see her mother in law...more mother's on Mother's Day! Then my sister and I escorted my husband to get some groceries and more graduation supplies. He is such a sweetheart!! No complaining even after waiting for us for over an hour and ahalf!! He also gave me the most amazing gift. A mother's ring!! It has each of our kids name's and birthstone on it! A treasure I will wear everyday. THANK YOU honey!! My sister and I then delivered our gift to our mom and then made more cookies and mints in preparation for graduation! I am so excited for Courtney as her last day of school is coming next week. Well the timer just went off again for the cookies so better go. Love and Peace.

Time....

Wow...the days just go way to fast! I was hoping to post some pictures of some really fun cupcakes I made and some fun birthday bags I made...however I don't have my cord to download the pictures down here and well...since I just sat down...the pictures will just have to wait. My sis and I also tried out a new sugar cookie recipe for Courtney's graduation cookies. YUMMIE!!! I started my to do list and yikes...that list is a bit long for only 4 weeks away. I continue to love reading Joy and Melanie's blog. I've also started reading the book "Letters to God" Courtney read it and was sobbing when I went up to her room. I wondered what was going on...she said the book was sooooo good but sooo sad. I decided I'd see how it was. Of course she did say she went to the movie but as it seems to happen often...book better. I am also really anxious to get the veggies planted. I should put some peas in this year....maybe I need to move to the farm before I expand my garden!!??? ENJOY life!

Working on Graduation

Trying to work on getting Courtney's graduation invitations. I am having fun putting them together but I think I'm adding some anxiety into Courtney's world as she is not a procrastinator and likes to be on time for everything!! :-) I reassured her I'd have them done on time...better get back to work! :-)
