Mothers Day

Yesterday was Mothers Day. A day we celebrate important people in our lives. At least that was always how I felt about my Mom! She was my sweetheart and people loved her so... I miss her a lot and think of her often. I miss my mother-in-law too. She was very special in our lives. A very quiet gentle person and a little more reserved than my Mom but always there for us and a great mother-in -law! Her having two sons, I was her first daughter and that was fun to share with her. But they are both gone now and it is time for a new generation to share our lives.
We had a "most fun" day with the younger set as Cameron and Kate came down to spend some time here on the coast for their one year anniversary of dating. We had such a fun time with them. They brought me a beautiful bouquet of carnations for Mothers Day and for having them ( The treat was ours !) We visited over a big bowl of popcorn Saturday night, had breakfast at the Pig and Pancake Sunday morning (you can't come to Astoria without eating at the Pig and having their bacon.) Went to visit the big noisy sea lions on the 39th street dock and then walking thru the opening day of our Sunday Market. Thought of riding the trolley but Cameron said we can't do that unless Grandpa is driving and conducting so that will have to come at another time.
Then we ended our day by celebrating Bob's birthday with Chris and Jackie and Tom and Judi as (get this) last night was the only day in the next two weeks we could all get together. (are we too busy or what) Anyway Jackie and Christ brought dinner from the Bowpicker, we had angel food cake with lemon filling, visited and watched part of the video Bob took on our vacation in New England last fall. Looked mainly at the trolley museum in Kennebunkport, Maine as I had just finished a scrapbook album for him for his birthday full of trolley pictures from our Astoria trolley and also from the Kennebunkport trolley museum. It was a fun album to make and made me even more anxious to get to the rest of our fall vacation. Have a scrapbook crop coming up this weekend but it has another priority album I have to finish before I can start on our vacation. There just isn't enough hours in each day to do everything I want to do.
Life is good - lots of beautiful people in my life. What more could one ask for.
God has blessed us above and beyond expectations.
