Daily Photo Journal -- May 8

I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom. Did I remember to take a picture of my mom? No. Ugh.

We all went to the church my dad preaches at. I hope he didn't notice me taking a picture... :)

I also was blessed with wonderful phone calls from my amazing children. I feel so privileged to be their mom. When we got home, I found some flowers on the front porch that my boy sent. They sat there for a day because they were gone, but they seem to be okay.

We went to my parents' house today. My mom, my sisters and I got to sort through a bunch of old family photos. It was a lot of fun seeing some photos I don't remember very well, and some old favorites. Here's a couple of samples:

I'm the little one front and center. 
Oh I was cute. 
(And, yes, I still fight that lovely cowlick.)

My box of photos.

My parents took us all out to eat tonight at a very nice restaurant. This was my yummy, yummy meal. (I ate every speck of it...)

Today's incredibly exciting Daily Photo Journal is all about signs.

While I was out and about today a couple of signs caught my eye. Before I show the first one, I want to define a word.

The word is:

Kinship: Connection by blood, marriage, or adoption; family relationship.

The Sign:

I totally should have gone in there so I could see who was selling their family members. :)


Later today my sweet hubby took me out for dinner and this sign was on the table:

(Sorry for the lousy phone photo...)

 Do you see at the top of the sign it says the Popover costs $1.99? Then at the bottom it says 99 cents? Puzzling....

I made dessert tonight! It's a big deal for me because for lots and lots of years I made dessert every week for our Small Group Bible Study. I have really missed doing that.

Tonight we had a lovely elderly couple over for dessert. He is the pastor (interim) of the church we have recently found to attend. I made a Berry Crisp:

And served it warm with a really good vanilla ice cream.

 Hubby and I finished it off after our company left. Yes, it was amazing. Hubby asked me why I never made it for our Small Group. I have no idea what I was thinking.

I bought these today to make the table look more cheery. I like them. I think they worked.

What we had for supper tonight. (Hubby's was minus the avocado and blue cheese.) 

(I never said I had an incredibly fascinating life.)

People I meet tell me I don't look like I'm 50. (What does 50 look like anyway??)

I have a confession to make. Here's the reason I don't:

 (Shocking, I know.) My hairdresser, Debbie, is amazing!
