Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day!! The Dean family had a great day yesterday. The weather wasn't in complete cooperation so we did not get our for our bike ride/picnic lunch that we had so wanted to do - but nonetheless, it was still a nice day. We were off to church in the morning and thenwhile the girls were napping, Dave and I were finally able to get our garden planted. We planted tomatoes, jalapenos, cauliflower, broccoli, acorn squash, butternut squash, onions, cantaloupe, and peas. Sure hope things grow - our family would be set for the summer. Believe it or not we still have some room for strawberries and watermelon if we so desire. As for the celebration, I was pleasantly surprised by two beautiful hanging baskets - one from each girl (which I've wanted for all of about 5 years now). I also received a "house cleaner" which both Dave and I have not had the luxury of having since Albuquerque. Yeah!!! So all in all it was a good day - I didn't clean, do laundry or cook. It was take out pizza for supper. How could I possibly want more? Hope all you moms out there had a great day and were honored as only a mom should be. Labor enough should deserve flowers every year for the rest of your life - agree???

Beautiful flowers! I just planted 2 big planters out front. I love spring!!!! Sounds like you have a good start on your garden too :) I don't know if we'll plant ours this year or not with the move...

Happy Belated Mothers Day!

I thought the best part about Mother's Day is that I refused to do any housework, too! How exciting for you to get a house cleaner. I would love one! Sounds like you had a very special day! Congratulations on raising two beautiful and wonderful girls!

Happy Belated Mother's Day!! You and Mattea are beautiful! As are the flowering baskets you got from the girls!

A patient of mine just spent over 12 total weeks in L&D with me, and she has been getting flowers EVERY WEEK, of EVERY YEAR she & her husband have been married (which I think is 3 yrs). Wow... I was more than willing to take her cast-offs at the end of the week

I'm still waiting for some hanging baskets... but I did get some patio furniture after 12 years of asking!
