Sunday, Mother's Day! (and Late Birthday)

Ford made grits and poached eggs for our breakfast, with AA still on crutches, she wasn't able to help.

I opened my birthday gifts and cards, plus my Mother's Day gifts from AA - a watering can and hose nozzle for our back deck. Ford gave me for my birthday hoop earring in real silver and real gold - special! And Mom had sent the Edible fruit tray on past Friday.

Trying to take a picture of the hoop earrings!

I finally opened the UMO umbrella Melissa sent for my birthday and a bird feeder from AA. I am so late doing this, was waiting for a gift Ford and AA ordered and it never came.

Plants for Mother's Day (milkweed, peppers for Ford):

We drove to Maggie's Herb farm and bought milk weed plant for Marsha and Leaa; also a few more pepper and mint plants. We enjoyed having a couple of beers with Leaa, Jesse, the girls and Marsha and Carl. Leaa gave me a candle and Marsha gave me one of her own paintings and a lobsterman cup (left in the home they bought) with a lemon-lime philodendron plant in it. So nice!

Gifts from Marsha:

From Leaa:

On the way home we picked up Sonny's BBQ sandwiches, then had a relaxing evening. 

Variety/some of the Birthday, Sympathy (Ian), Get Well (AA's Surgery) and Mother's Day cards!
