A Simple Mother's Day

Let's see

I woke up on Mother's Day at five in the morning

with Hank and his mom

I was having my Mother up for a Mother's Day brunch

raspberry scones

caramel rolls

a mushroom quiche, a green bean quiche, and a cheese quiche

fried potatoes

my sister brought the bacon and watermelon

I cut roses and beets for the centerpieces

I secretly have my hubby grow beets

so that I can use the top for centerpieces

I love the way they look in a glass vase

by the time we sat down to eat

I wasn't hungry

I was tired

I used the pink dishes that I have been collecting

from thrift stores

lots of ooh's and aah's

when they walked in the door and saw the table

and if you are wondering if I got a little blue box for my gift

sort of

my daughter who knows me to well

gave me a big box of goodies

a rachel ashwell duvet

cute little notepads for my desk

that say,

Be.you.tiful

and

some people look for a beautiful place

and others make a place beautiful

and the cup above

we both love Pride and Prejudice

and the cup is very special

and at the bottom of the big box was a little blue bag

thank you Holly

I love you sooooo much
