My three sons.

This is my 10th mothers’ day as a mom. The boys (with someone’s help, I’d imagine) got me a gift certificate for a Beyond Suburbia package at the spa. It sounds just remarkable. I can barely wait.
But even more wonderful are the things that the boys wrote for me. I feel so warm and gooey inside. Here are some highlights:
- “I love you because you are HONEST, you are KIND, you are HELPFUL. And lastly, you are PEACEFUL.” reads a card that one son wrote.
- “I love you most for taking care of me and tucking me in at night,” writes another.
- “I believe that my mom deserves the Time for Kids mother award because she does so many things for me……she pulled a tick from around my neck and it was painless.”
And they made me some wonderful things, too.
- One son made me a pen, with a plastic lacing (it’s called gimp around here) casing. He worked really hard on it.
- Another made me a wooden tulip for my desk.
- Another packaged bath salts with a beautiful note.
And while I type, my biggest boy (Andrew) is making me soft shell crabs and shrimp for dinner. Yum! He even brought me a glass of wine while I blog. What a guy.
But what I really appreciate the very most is that my sons and my husband treat me this way all year long. I feel like the luckiest woman alive today.
As wonderful as all the things are that they did for you today (and they truly are)…I think it is even more wonderful that they treat you that way all year long.
Sounds like a lovely day. Happy Mother’s Day…
Miz Liz, you just took my comment! What a day you had Wendy. What a wonderful family!!!
good for you! happy mother’s day.
Happy Mother’s Day, what a wonderful one! That Andrew needs to teach me to cook soft shell crabs. Make a YouTube video, will ya!
What a wonderful tribute to a lovely family. Lucky you…and well-deserved, from the perspective of your readers!

Oh, what wonderful kids you have!
I am surprised it’s called “gimp” anymore. I would think that would be politically correct. But that’s what we called plastic lacing at Girl Scout camp.
Thank you all – it was really nice. GNG – Andrew is going to write out instructions for the soft shells! YUMMY!
