Sometimes we just get wrapped up in the moment, and forget to say anything until it has passed. Or we're baking on Sundays! This is a rather late greeting for my friends, cousins, and everyone else in my circles; I hope you had the day that you wanted.
I felt fortunate this year to have two of my three grown children at home for the day, and actually most of the weekend. It's still a hard day, only a year and a half since my mother died, and while it is certainly easier this year, we miss her very much; this day brings up so many memories.
It was low key, a day spent with family, and the sun broke through in time for brunch on the deck. David and our son Matt did a spectacular job in the kitchen, aided by daughter Sarah; Rachel called in her greetings from Santa Cruz and sent a simply decadent basket of items to pamper the footsies. And my darling, darling children have gifted me with the charms of their sweet heads, to replace the necklace I lost in Savannah. I am truly touched.
And flowers from my favorite florist:
On Thursday we're off to Toronto, to visit old friends and attend David's 30th medical school reunion. No Sunday Bakers this week.

Marcia, I'm so happy you were surrounded by your kids minus one on Mothers day. Lucky, lucky you. Their presence is such a gift in itself. Everything else is icing...and what lovely icing it was. Those flowers are beautiful! Take care and safe travels this weekend. Have fun.
