Mother's Day 2011

I wanted to reproduce Mallie's card, in part, to me for Mother's Day. She included a poem.

"Be of good cheer on this day,
as I hope, and wish and pray...
that you know how much you're loved,
by people around us and also above!"

Sweet, eh? Saturday night we enjoyed the company of Steve's parents, brother, cousin and cousin's girlfriend. We met up for dinner as they were all in town to head out of town! Steve's cousin is getting married this week in....

ICELAND!

So everyone - minus us - is in lovely Iceland as I write this. I am envious but very excited for them all, especially my brother-in-law who has never traveled internationally before. So cool! We had a lovely evening of dinner and then desserts at a fantastic middle eastern coffeehouse in West Bloomfield.

Sunday we headed off to church and then home for a quick lunch and then off to the Farmington Players Barn to see "The Producers." Fantastic time and fun to see old friends. We were expecting a quiet evening at home but...

We had to get a new sump pump. I guess I'm happy that Steve discovered it early. I remember all too well the last time the sump pump died. After all the flurry of activity, we settled down to takeout Mexican and watching "Beauty and the Beast" courtesy of my brother-in-law. We just finished producing the stage show and I had never seen the "real thing".

Sigh. All in all, a good day..and a half! Happy Mother's Day to you. And a special nod to the celestial balcony for my mum.
