mother's day

my daughter bought me my mother's day gift when i was in california, a pair of capri's. they are tan and have little strings and ties and pockets which i really like. she made me feel still wanted--she called and asked for advice about curtains on mother's day.

neal called me on mother's day and bought me a itsy bitsy jump drive when i was in california. i hadn't been to fry's electronics before so we had to visit the store. they don't have them in this part of the country.

my sis was invited to her middle son's for barbecue on sunday. she was a little worried because she hadn't heard from the youngest or the oldest son. but they came through. the youngest one was at the barbecue and the older one called from maryland.

the younger ones played horse after lunch. bordy was the youngest but he held his own. there were no real basketballs involved!

at about five the baby chicks and ducks were checked out and then everyone migrated to our house to help my sis put her new grill together. she forgot to read the whole instruction for each step...ie.. the part about star washers... so after about 10 steps her son had to go back and add the washers. but with everyone's help it was put together and initiated with hot dogs, hamburgers, fake hot dogs and veggie patties. it was a good thing there was some salad and cut veggies in the refridgerator! everyone had their fill. it was really the first time we could set out on the porch in the dark and be comfortable. it would be nice if the porch was bigger, but i am glad that we have a porch and plenty of chairs.
