I hope all of you Mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!
I had to share this beautiful fruit bouquet that my daughter
Amanda made for me. She surprised me with it and included
the lovely dish it is in.
I told you that my son was going to speak about his mother
in church today. He began his talk by saying I had taught him
many things and that he wanted to to share those -
1st - Eat dessert first
2nd - Chocolate is a staple at our house
3rd - When other mothers in the neighborhood were
paying their kids not to eat sugar he had come home to see
if he could get a little money out of his mother like that and
I had said that I would pay him to eat sugar!
Of course he got a lot of laughs out of those, but he went
on to pay a beautiful tribute to motherhood. It was a lovely
Mother's Day.
(Guess I still owe him some $!!)
What made your Mother's Day special?
Glad you had a "sweet" day! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful gifts, Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteI spent the morning with my darling daughter and my husband and then set sail for the mainland for a week of work away - but I brought my mother's day flowers with me!
Sounds like you had a great day Jacqueline! The boys gave me a couple big bars of Valrhona chocolate... Now for the big decision, do I want to eat them like candy or bake with them? Life is good:@)
ReplyDeleteAww! What a lovely tribute to you. He certainly loves and knows his Mama. It really looks like and sounds like you are raising those children well. Glad you had a very happy Mother's day!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable..and the work and love that went into it:)
ReplyDeleteI know your day was great:)Well deserved .
Such a cute post! What a lovely Mother's Day you had.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bouquet and what a lovely tribute! I had my four kids and 6 grands here! Life is good.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful Mother's Day. I had brunch and invited several family members. It was all good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have wonderful kids Jacqueline. Obviously, you did a great job raising them. Your fruit arrangement looks amazing too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAmanda did a beautiful job designing your fruit arrangement. She is just as talented as her mom. That was such a cute way for your son to start his talk about you. I wish I could have heard the rest of your son's talk about his sweet mom. I know that you are so proud of each of your children. On Mother' Day my son and his wife shared with me that they are expecting their first child in November. I feel so blessed.

My Joe took me out to breakfast. WE had a BUSY day. as you saw, but it is very rewarding to get so much DONE!!!! I just wish I had been miore ruthless before when getting rid of stuff. I ahve a new attitude about what NOT to keep:):) XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteI love what your daughter made you! It looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI bet your heart was filled with pride at church!
I would have been in tears to have my son give a tribute to me...You sound like a great Mom!
ReplyDeleteI did not change my blog, because like you....I did not want to screw it up!! I am having someone else do it, but even at that it has been screwed up a little, I am trying to take a deep breath and relax until it is done! Wish me luck! yours looks really nice and neat, I wouldn't be in any hurry, it is to nerve racking!
