Mother's Day Weekend Recap

I have worn many "hats"~waitress at the local Kmart Restaurant when I was a teen, babysitter, being a nanny for a young girl during summer and Christmas breaks from college, housekeeping job in college, schoolteacher, office worker for a local company. The best fitting "hat" for me is that of wife and mom. I thank the Lord every day for the tremendous blessings He has given me.

I know some of you are waiting, hoping, and praying, some are hurting, and please know I am praying that God will give you an extra measure of His grace...I imagine that holidays are extra difficult. This post is not meant to sound boastful or anything like that. I just need to make sure my memories are written down here.

I did have a wonderful weekend. It all started on Friday when "Hubbie" and I hosted a Mother's Brunch for our moms. We were so excited to have them come over, and spend the morning and part of the afternoon with us. My Dad was able to also come and enjoy time with everyone...he was even able to take a little nap later in the day.  :)

Friday afternoon, I went to the church to help decorate the gym for the Mother/Daughter Luncheon. Here are a few pictures of the gym after we were finished. The theme this year was "His Eye is on the Sparrow."

These items came from one of the "girls" back yard! Lovely!

I had a good time helping decorate and of course, enjoyed the fellowship with the other ladies. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow from the luncheon.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great Monday!
