Hey Newfie, I hope you had a great first mothers day, your daughter is a doll, such a cutie. It was nice to see you and the hubby the other night.

My wife and I hosted three generations of moms yesterday. Everybody pitched in and we ate and drank our fill out on the sunny, warm deck. Kids running around the yard and a botany lesson from my mom.

Topped off by a few fingers of the best Irish whiskey I've ever had: Midleton.

I spent a wonderful day with one of my daughters and her family, my sons, their wives and five of my grandkids.
Later in the day, I was with my other daughter and her husband and their four kids.
My tenth grandchild is due in about two weeks! I could never have imagined, in my wildest dreams, that
I would be a grandmother of ten - and counting. (Right Tiger?)

I'd bet a lot of mothers would've just liked a day off. How about surprising the mother in your life with a "surprise" mother's day? Totally out of the blue, totally unexpected. Fathers and kids heap all the goods on her, someday when she really needs a break.

The question is, is did the fathers jump in and do the mother's usual grind?

I had breakfast made for me by my 5 year old... (Kashi Go Lean Crunch w/ Blueberries), I had to pour the milk, it was too heavy for her! My16 year old drew me an amazing Pastel, of a beach, inspired by Sanibel. FRiday, I was at the Pre-School, having a Mother's Day Brunch, and I got a little baby food Jar full of paper flowers, and a hand decorated frame, with her picture in it! I really love the home made gifts the best..

I worked out ALONE for 2 hours, it was like heaven.....

Had a great weekend!!!

My daughter, who had to work on Sunday, met me at the mall on Saturday and we spent the day at the spa, shopping and then dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory................

My son came down on Sunday with my grand daughter (man that little one brings me such joy, I can't express enough how alive she makes me feel!!!) went out for lunch and then went walking around another mall (Laila's suggestion...ya at two she likes to shop already). All...

I had a great day too! Visited with both Moms and Sis and then get this, my hub took me golfing. He's never been but was a doll and took me. He did great actually. Then had a nice dinner at the Patio with him and my daughter. Those are the best gifts, just having special time together.

We probably should have stayed home, we were at the Gull for almost 2 hours! But, all in all, it was a great day!

George's had a line out the door yesterday morning. What's wrong with cooking at home and serving Ma there? Isn't that what she did for us for about 18 years?

Had a nice day with the sons and gradkids. Grandkids had soccer games today so we enjoyed watching them play, then on to the eldest son's house for dinner. We also celebrated granddaughter #3's and my youngest son's birthday as well as Mother's day. Two dozen roses from #2 son and a nice big hanging plant from #1 son and family. All in all a very nice day, but a long one as we had to travel an hour each way.

Sounds like a few of the mothers here had a nice day also....
