Good afternoon, well it's been quite a Mother's Day for sure...started of visiting elderly Aunt who lives in next town for coffee, before you knew it, I had everything but the kitchen sink...my mom had given her a new umbrella for picnic table..matches color of new siding..Aunt Muriel gave me 3 garbage bags full of plants..(guess who gardened most of the day...Jeff and Greg spent mid-morning putting gazebo together..few swear words..need a new one apparently..next year...Kyle helped me break up firepit as I'm going to purchase metal fireplace this week..Jeff is paying for it as a Mother's day gift...going for supper at Greg's shortly and my gift is there..Kyle was excited about some kind of crocodile that moves in water..would be great for my pond he said..who knows...I might just come home with another pet....so it will shortly be time to wash up and go enjoy myself...

Worse thing...it would be hard to find a 'worse thing' but guess if I had to choose one it would be falling over the fireplace bricks as we were moving them to new location...

What did I learn..boys had a great time teasing mom..they can't figure out why I would want a gazebo when I don't sit still for 5 minutes at a time...they kept telling me to sit and walk to them ...they caught me about 10 times doing something...next year they said they are purchasing a chaise lounge and hand-cuff's...so guess I learnt that I must try and relax/rest and enjoy at least part of the day rather than working myself into a tissie...

Hope you are enjoying your day as well...will post the sketch of my family that I told you about in a previous post..and photo's of the day...
