Mother's Day Remembrances

Mother's Day, 2014, turned out to be a truly beautiful day, weather-wise and otherwise.

 It is my sincerest hope that ever Mom and Grandma out there had a blessed day.

My daughter, son-in-law and baby granddaughter came over for breakfast.  

To me, the highlight of the meal was the fresh fruit tray with half-slices of oranges, kiwi, organic strawberries, blackberries and raspberries.

My dear daughter and I exchanged gifts.  

I had hers set up at her place at the table.  Loved the pretty wrapping paper I found as the little golden hearts matched the gold bows!

One of my sisters and me went to the cemetery in the afternoon and said prayers for our late Mom, paternal grandmother and  four aunts. 

Each of those  very special women had huge influences on my life and I'm so filled with gratitude for having known and loved them.


Then we visited an elderly aunt  and her daughter, my cousin, who is her caretaker.

I also enjoyed a phone call from our out-of-state son and sweet daughter-in-law.

My daughter hosted a dinner at night so we drove to her house and enjoyed a delicious dinner of steak, mixed veggies, rice and a choice of homemade brownies or apple pie!

As I write this post, my heart is filled to the brim with  love and immense gratitude.  

WHAT WERE YOU MOST GRATEFUL FOR ON SUNDAY?
