Mother's Day Events and Thoughts

Macaroni and cheese. Hot-dogs. Store-made soup. Homemade chicken and rice. Egg and Tuna sandwiches.
Not exactly Mother's Day foods - but they served the purpose! Favourite foods make for comfort, and comfort is home, and home is where the heart is.
Stevin and Katrina and the girls were over on Saturday to dig up some trees - in the rain and mud! But the girls had their usual grand time indoors: playing on the stairs, reading, tackling Oma....
Sunday after church, I warmed up some store-prepared soup and buns to go with our coffee/lunch with Mom T. and Dad and Mom G.
But what made the weekend special were the heartfelt expressions of love. I enjoy watching the girls making themselves right at home with Oma's things. Even Rachel got into the fun when she discovered the shelf with the dish-cloths!
I did get this cute picture of her so that I can update my wall of grand-kids...

We also got these snapshots of Great-Grandma reading to Naomi and Petra -
Before they left mid-afternoon to plant their trees before the end of the day, I received two pots of blueberry bushes! I hope these plants do well - I so enjoy blueberries from the freezer all year long!! At the end of the day, a bouquet of flowers was delivered from Martin and Emily and Maria and Nicole. They are beautiful!
Sunday's chats with David and Stephanie, and later with Michael, are always special! I'm glad with Steph that she is finally feeling better!

I love each one of you! There are many things I wish I had done, or things I could do, but I am proud of each one of my 4 + 3 + 5 and a half children. I must have done something right, because each one of you is so special! I thank God for giving you to me. You continue to bless me with all that you are, and I pray that God will continue to bless you wherever you are.
