Mother's Day

We all have different ideas of what a perfect Mother's Day is.  For some, it would start with breakfast in bed, then gifts, complete with a bouquet of flowers, then the rest of the day would be spent lounging about, being waited on hand and foot while reading a book or writing or sewing or nothing at all -- doing whatever you wanted.  Unfortunately for most of us, the above isn't feasible, yet we do manage to make the most of what we are given.

For instance, my day started off with the news we were going to hit 25 degrees Celsius (yay!), along with a happy Mother's Day note left on the counter by my youngest daughter before she rushed off to work.  Then it was off to the gym for my Zumba class and after that, I went shopping for my garden.  Once all my purchases were safely out of the car, I spent the rest of the afternoon getting my pond going and putting some flower pots where I wanted them.  My son dropped by with roses, along with a quick hug and kiss.  I got a call from my middle daughter and a text from my oldest daughter and then my day was topped off with our friends eating pizza and drinking big people pop.

That was the perfect day.  I hope you all had your perfect Mother's Day.

Have a great day.
