Mother's Day in Rockford...




The weather was nasty and cold, but the sweetness of my family made it a nice and relaxing day inside!  Patience had thoughtfully crotched me a very nice dishrag, and added to it a pretty votive candle holder and lots of raspberry filled dark chocolate.  What she didn't give me, so her shopping taxi-man tells me, was a "ped-egg", and collapsible measuring cups. Both ideas turned down as being too "practical".  We dined at home on Swedish Pancakes and strawberries and then sent the kids to naps, dishes and R&R for Mom by 2:15!!  THAT, my folks, is a great Mother's Day!!
