Plans are not made yet for us - usually DS, DIL, and GS take me out to breakfast with DH. Last year we then went to our local children's park to play with GS. Then they go to her parent's house for her Mother's Day. However, this year is special because my son's birthday falls on Mother's Day. He will be turn 32 and is my one and only child. My husband and I had infertility problems and I ended up having surgery so that I could get pregnant. We tried for 7 years to have a child and lost 2 in miscarriages. I got pregnant a month after surgery to my doctor's surprise. Had a wonderful pregnancy, had him by C-section. Never used birth control again and never got pregnant again! So he is my miracle baby and whatever he wants to do Sunday, we will do! After all, I told him, I wouldn't be a Mom without him!

Thank you guys :-) I do love my rose and its uniqueness. My DH comes up with some different ideas sometimes and prides himself on not always being mainstream...lol. cooperbailey, On the way home with my rose I started wondering the same thing. It's a burnished finish. I believe if it was natural it would be black and it is buffed to give it a more pewter color. It has some black in the grooves but I'm thinking there's not a finish on it at all. If that's the case I suppose it would rust if exposed to humidity. You're not the first person to ask me that. I'm thinking I should email the fabricator and ask him about it. He was really nice and showed us his workshop which is located in his garage.

As long as I get some strawberry shortcake I'm happy. Going to my oldest's for dinner. They asked what I want and all I could think of was asparagus or brussel sprouts. Need to think of an entree . I'm just happy I'm not the cook . It's been wonderful my youingest daughter has been cooking since I started chemo and trying new things. Seniorgal, the drive sounds wonderful . Growing ue we did Sunday drives with all of us piled in the car . Drives through North Jersey with fall colors and stopping for apples or ice cream. Some nice music on the radio ... have a wonderful ride today . Whether it's time to yourself or spending with family , I hope all of you enjoy Mother''s Day !

I was walking my dog yesterday. Typically in Florida, people wait until the sun gets low because its so hot and the sun blinding. While walking, I pass neighbors and we always chat briefly from a distance. I tell people my dog is not the friendliest and people respect that (not true). Yesterday a neighbor was walking on the opposite side of the street and we chatted briefly while walking. We were talking about how we were dealing with the virus and being isolated and how tired we were of the whole thing. Just chit-chat. Then she says, I think the whole thing is overblown and you'll never see me wearing a mask, gloves and all the crap. As I kept walking, I said, 'well, I certainly don't want to get it as I'm not a spring chicken.' She said, 'its all overblown and I wouldn't worry about it at all.' I'm 71 and my guess is she's about the same. We passed her house and I kept walking thinking, what makes her think it's all overblown? I have no idea but at my age, even if I survived, who wants to take the chance? Who wants to be sick for weeks? Not me, not worth it. I don't like being isolated, I don't like the restrictions its put on my life, but l also don't like the idea of catching this virus and its implications. Just not worth it. Jane
