Mother’s Day 2021 ~Here’s my Report ~Better Late than Never

Mother’s Day was already a week ago.
We celebrated with Hubby’s Mother and Sister.
Remember, his Mother will celebrate her
93rd Birthday this summer!

Our family has traditionally celebrated Mother’s Day
at Hubby’s sister’s house. Years ago, we used to drop
our young daughters off to help her with small tasks like
scrubbing potatoes and setting the table.

This year, our menu centered around these Baby Back Ribs.

With Corn on the Cob for the side...Tasted like Summer!
We also enjoyed a Green Salad and Cake for Dessert!

Our UPS Driver dropped off some friendly mail...
Way better than the bills and junk mail that we normally get!

This was one of the things in the gift bag.
Do you see that the lipstick is called Purrfect Pout?
And the name of the color is Pawsh.

Imagine this Cat Lady’s Delight when I opened the tube
and found this little Cat Face inside!
Thank you, Emily and Jake. You really made my day!

Another tradition is for Hubby to purchase
an outdoor hanging plant for his mother. And this year,
he purchased one for me, too.
It looks really pretty out on our patio.

“The Pay is Short. The Hours are Long.
It’s a 24/7 Kind of Job. Training is Learn-as-you-Go.
Patience and Wisdom required from Day One.
Retirement Isn’t an Option.”

It’s all true.
And...I’d never...ever...ever...want to retire from
being a Mother. It’s the best role ever.

I hope you all had a lovely Mother’s Day.
Now, we all look forward to the Official First Day of Summer.

Take care,
~Natalie
