On Mother's Day I went to see my Mom after going to church. It was really a beautiful day. The weather was just perfect. My daughter came home and surprised me (she had told me she wouldn't be in until Monday). My husband made us supper and I opened my gifts. Keith gave me a beautiful handbag. Alex gave me my favorite Yankee candle and a pair of sterling silver earrings. Amy gave me a cross ring and a book. She also donated $25.00 in my name to the Mocha Club. (See photos below).
Since my last post, Keith has been busy with our new fountain. He got a few gold fish to go in it and he planted flowers around it. He did a really good job. He also has planted a garden. It is only May and already the squash plants have blooms. So, I think we will have early vegetables.
My daughter and I made a trip to Nashville where she will be living this summer. The ride was great but as we approached the area she would be staying--a nice area---the devastation from the flood was unreal. There were houses with carpet, flooring, furniture, drywall out in the front yard waiting for rescue workers to pick it up. Nashville is surrounded by a river ( I didn't know this). Well the levee broke--Didn't hear about that did ya??? Well, when it broke, that is what caused the major problem in the area my daughter is staying in. Her roommate had to be taken out in a canoe at 1:30 in the morning. I just can't imagine. No electricity and water so high you can't walk in it, let alone see where you are going in a canoe. The people in Nashville have done a remarkable job of cleaning up, and according to my daughter, things are getting back to normal. God bless them!
Also, not so good news for me, but great news for my son--he gets his driving permit today. He is excited and while I do trust him--it is unnerving to know they are amongst all the other crazy drivers. I will just do a LOT of praying.
Check out all my pictures (below) since my last post on Easter.

beautiful fountain and gorgeous garden. I think the picture of the dogwood tree is so lovely.
I wished they would bloom just a little longer.

Hi donna
