Happy Mothers Day!

Hope all of you women out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I enjoyed a delicious dinner of chicken kabobs and artichokes (if you can't tell I really like artichokes) compliments of Chef Haakey. We had his family over for the evening and his sister helped the kids make a gift for me. A flower pot and a pot holder with hand prints on it. Very cute! His mother gave me a mother-in-laws tongue...... now, even though we have had some health issues with her tongue recently (which I will write about at a future date) this is a lovely house plant and nothing else.



If you have been to my house you know that I have a soft spot for plants. I just like greenery around. So it was the perfect gift. She told me that it is called the mother-in-laws tongue because is is sharp and to the point. We are choosing to say that in this instance sharp means clever. Midge does have a great sense of humor! I have already mentioned how glad I am to have her in the family. I always tell her that I owe all the good parts of Haakon to her! We gave her a beautiful pale pink geranium and she almost started to cry. We share a love of plants! Haakon gave his mom, sister and me a dozen roses each. He is so thoughtful!
I also sent flowers to my own sweet mother down in Utah. I love you mom! One of the few sorrows of living in Alaska is that I wish she and the rest of my family were closer!

And of course, I can't go without mentioning those who made this day possible......

my adorable children!

They were soooo cute today! I wish I could say that they sat like angels at church for me but no..... they had to remind me of the patience it takes to have the title of "mother." I AM SO LUCKY!!!

Hope your day was as wonderful! You all deserve it!

I just added some great thoughts for moms on the right of my blog. Enjoy!
