My Mother's Day

My Mother's Day festivities started on Saturday afternoon when my doorbell rang with a delivery. It was the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, wrapped in brown paper like they came directly from a flower shop on the corner in New York.  My sweet friends, Martha and Christy sent them to me.  I was so touched.  I mean, really touched. Aren't they gorgeous? 

I tried to take a picture of myself with the flowers to show Martha and Christy how much they meant to me.  That was hard to do and basically a disaster.  I need longer arms, some makeup and a face coach.  Does that face say "You guys!  I can't even believe there are people as kind and thoughtful as you walking on this earth!  How is it even possible that I am lucky enough to have you as MY friends?"  That is what I was trying to say with my face. Pretty sure I struck out, but man was this so sweet and appreciated. 

My boys both wrote me great letters that made me laugh, as they often do!  We went to an early showing of Melissa McCarthy's new movie Life of the Party.  It was silly, but we did laugh a lot.  We then came home and watched the Celtics beat the Cavs and ordered takeout from PF Chang's.  It was a great day. I didn't do any chores or cooking or working, so just a day to recharge and hang with my boys.  Perfect. 

I hope Monday is kind to you.  I really want it to be kind to me too!
