Mother's Day

Today I was treated to a good old fashioned snooze fest:-) I slept until 10:00! Isn't that what every mother regardless of the age of her kids desires. Ahhh I rarely allow myself the luxury as there are always so many things to be done etc.

Jeff and I walked Finnegan up to Starbucks, had a drink outside, walked around the pond and generally had a lazy day.

In the evening I was showered with flowers and chocolate covered strawberries! Now who could ask for more?

Charissa arrived to pick me up for dinner at our favorite Italian haunt. When she got out of the car she presented me with a bouquet of flowers, a bag and card. Then we headed off to Mingo's. We sat outside with with the heat lamp providing just a tad bit more than Mother Nature offered. We watched other people's children play, we talked without interruption! We ate a wonderful salad and I had grilled asparagus for dinner. Yum! As we sat outside being attended by a not too intrusive but very available server we floated down the lazy river of de Nile as raindrops infringed on our quiet and quaint dinner. We were efficiently moved inside where we continued our meal.

I had no idea what was in the bag (strawberries) so I indulged in a wonderful dessert of prunes with a rich and decadent cheese flavored with cinnamon and sugar. It was lovely! most of all i enjoyed the time with my daughter without cell phone interruptions!

I felt like a queen:-)
