what a weekend it was

it was full, very busy and wonderful.  on saturday, jim took me to visionworks to get my glasses prescription filled.  first time bifocals, and of course, i had to have the lineless ones.  since it was going to take a while for them to be made, we zipped back to mom's and took her shopping.  dad had given her cash for mother's day, and she wanted a new outfit.  so off to belk's we went, but first she wanted seafood.  we took her to john's barbeque (which sells the best seafood, as well) and she got a deluxe platter.  and then, when she was all shored up for shopping.

as sick as this woman is, she can shop circles around me.  we were in belk's for what seemed hours as she scouted for just the right colors, just the right outfit.  she looked at shoes, jewelry, handbags...and when she finally finished that, she wanted to go to walmart!

on sunday, i had resigned myself to the fact that neither of my children would be around for mother's day.  i got up early, made a pot of Frangelico Coffee to help me recover from my shopping trip/glasses excursion, and jim, bless his heart, decided i should have a newspaper.   so there i was, alone in the house, wearing shorts and a comfortable T when the dogs started barking.  off to the bedroom i dashed to pull on something presentable when suddenly - my daughter was standing my bedroom door.  i squealed.  i jumped up and down.  i grabbed her around the neck and hugged her hard, and she laughed.  and then later, my son made it to mom's for lunch with us.

it was a great day.  :-)

i hope you all had a wonderful mother's day.
