What a day! I am a blessed and happy woman. I think that this was the best Mother's Day ever. It was wonderful being with all my son, daughter, and family. Guess what I got? All flowers! I suppose everyone had the same idea. I now have more lantana and vincas. I got cockscomb, and marigolds. And glory be, I even got a gorgeous Asiatic lily. I have ALWAYS wanted one. I can't wait to plant, plant, plant. When we got to the Captain's Galley there was a sign: Free Carnation for Mothers. We were almost finished with our wonderful seafood, but no carnation. Hubby saw other ladies with theirs, so he saw a waitress that we knew. He asked her why we didn't get any. She apologized and got two. There were three mother's there. I don't think anyone believed that my daughter was the mother of that strapping young man sitting across from her. I think that made her feel good, but she wanted her flower, too. They gave it to her albeit a little reluctantly.

Daughter and I enjoyed going through more old pictures. Then we toured the yard. Grandson was out collecting these huge rocks. He built a small wall around the little fig bush. It now sort of looks like an inukshuk. The next time he comes, it'll probably be a larger wall. Anyway it's interesting yard art. So far the wind isn't blowing, but it'll probably start up as soon as the sun shines. Even if if does, it will still be a glorious day.
