The spring break week went by MUCH to fast. I survived not having my kids home and we enjoyed having Ned at the farm and seeing Mother today for church and dinner. She hadn't been to church in four or five years and the little chapel at Green Grove is just right for her. It was a good day. She did mention to me yesterday that "the old people here just love it when I talk to them and give them a little attention." I have to wonder with the dementia if it is possible that she doesn't realize that SHE, at almost 81 years of age, is also an old person...Whatever works. She's happy and isn't complaining.
My posting might be a little scarce for the next couple of weeks. I have to write a grant at work and am on a very tight timeline...it's due the 24th. NO...no pressure...none at all. Hopefully, I'll stay on my regular blog schedule but just in case, you'll know where I am.
Here are a few photos in a slide show of the weekend. I was planning to have Hank's mother and "Miss" Peggy at the farm this afternoon for tea but they were afraid they would be too tired from getting up early for the sunrise service and so forth. I set the table anyhow just to see how it WOULD have looked. Now I have a plan for Mother's Day, without the eggs of course.

ReplyDeleteWe just came through MC on the way home from Myrtle Beach this afternoon, have you seen that sign coming out of town towards Summerville that says "My Gov. Mark Sanford sucks and that is my opinion"!? It is hilarious! It also says something about Lindsey Graham on the other side but we were going too fast and I couldn't read it! I wanted to take a picture but hubby wouldn't stop!
Good Luck with the grant writing!

ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to still have your mother. Great pictures. Sounds like the presure is on at work...Good luck.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for sharing your Easter Sunday with me. As you know, I miss my parents so badly, especially at Easter and Christmas.....Mama always made such a fuss, as you do with your kids over our Easter dresses and bonnets and our baskets. Just wanted to thank you for sharing and making me shed a good tear. By the way, I love the white bonnet on Lorelai - Mama put me in one too. In fact, I still have it.
ReplyDeleteMy Easter Bunny went to the Orange and White game in Clemson - and apparently our QBs look GREAT!!!! Should be a great season.
I think your mother and Ned are going to be very happy and so are you. Time for you to relax and enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures! Love the Easter table!
ReplyDeleteI decided to look back at your blog and see if I was just a forgetful ol' girl and that you appear on your blog on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post? I love it. Such great pix. Love the table (did you use if for M-day?), what cute pix of Ned and Mother "),
And there you are...no glasses. You are so pretty. Love that dress!
Have a great Wednesday!
