Mother's Day

Here's to the First Women in our Lives - Mother
Today's the day, but our family celebrated this past Friday while family was in town. Some of you have read that I visit my Mom in a Nursing Home (she'll be 92 and she's sharp as a pin. She amazes me).
On holiday We get her out of there. We arrange for the Town's handicap bus to pick her up and deliver her to our location. Once there I use 2 of my 3 ramps, a walker and portable wheelchair to get her inside - if you have the Right Tools, you can get the job done (as Dad would recite - and he's right!)
Anywho, she joined us at Sister's home and had a lovely time. She looks wonderful. Days prior I had put a tower cabinet together for her to use in her room. Top 1/2 shelves, bottom 1/2 a closed cabinet w/shelves. I had it standing at the other end of the hall as we rolled her inside. She came upon it and was thrilled. Another place to put "stuff!" Her new hobby...a coloring book with array of pens/pencils, then those toiletries other Mom thingies. Then came other gifts and cards. Oh how she loves cards, they make her smile, then cry. That's Happy, I guess?
Ouu...we gave her wine. Two glasses infact, of Riunite Lambrusco. That was tasty! Her cheeks made Santa's look pale
Dinner: BBQ Shell Steaks, Chicken Breasts and Thighs. Sauteed Mushroom and Oinions. Fresh mix of Broccoli and Cauliflower (w/garlic), Macaroni and Cheese with sides of Deviled Eggs, Creamed Cucumber's, Sliced Tomato and Mozzarella.
Dessert: Coffee, Wine, or Cordial. Cheesecake with blueberries and strawberries atop, ice cream, or Cup Cakes
Bus came back hours later. Off she went feeling full and feeling loved.
I will see her again tomorrow where we will re-live the whole day by telling others that roll into her room asking, "How was Your Mother's Day?" Then off she'll go..........
I am Blessed to have Her Still in my Life. Being her caretaker for so many years, I can't imagine being without her.
Here's Friday's pic of My Mom. She's "Simply the Best!"
