Texas Andersons

I’m not one for getting all caught up in the greeting card holidays.  But I love Mother’s Day.  If they didn’t have a day set aside for us hard-working moms, would we ever be celebrated and appreciated? 

I worked hard all week- walked the neighborhood every morning, ran errands, saw several appointments, worked on clients’ orders, met and talked to two more home builders, worked in the gardens, cleaned house, and mowed… all so I could have today free.

This morning we had sausage and homemade (by Nathan) cranberry scones.  Then it was off to the lake with my parents!  We toughed out the cold and waited on the mist to enjoy a wonderful day of play, canoeing, and a great lunch (thanks to Dad).  We made it home to rest and thaw out for a couple of hours.  I even got a hot bubble bath!  And then we went out to eat at Welfare Cafe.  The weather was perfect to eat outside, the food was delicious, and the animals on the farm were so fun to watch.

And gifts?  Yes, there were gifts!  The boys picked out a package of chocolate-covered apple slices.  And I got a tent!!!  Fingers crossed that we can take it out to the lot in a couple of weekends. 

I’m so lucky to have had such a wonderful day.  And I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
