Fun Weekend

On Friday night, my parents came over and watched MK. Thara and I went out to eat and then went to Lowes. I picked out a flower arrangement that I wanted. I got a unique flower basket for my mom too.




We have decoration next Saturday. I think it is a Southern thing. Families of the loved ones buried in the cemeteries get together and have a service. We sing. There is always a speaker. You place flowers on your loved ones graves. Then we eat a huge potluck lunch. The week before, we go out to the cemetery for a major clean up. (Yard work, etc.) On Saturday, I woke up very early and went out to the cemetery where my brother Blake is buried. I didn't want my parents to have to worry with cleaning up. My mom did come with a rake and broom. Some of the people showed up with weed eaters. I brought rags. I wiped off all of the monuments. I helped rake. Picked weeds. Hopefully it will be a nice next weekend and not rain.

Thara and Mary-Kate went shopping for my Mother's Day gift. So I went shopping too, by myself. My mom wanted to buy me a new outfit. So I hit the jackpot at Cato. I bought some new Capri's, a pair of jeans, and some shoes. After that, I met Thara and Mary-Kate for lunch. He took her back home and I went for a pedicure. The gal talked me into this. It is growing on me.







Last night, Thara and MK made a healthy mother's day cake for me. It is a pudding drop cake. You use white cake mix and applesauce instead of oil and sugar free pudding for icing.








This morning, MK woke me up to say, "Happy Mudder's Day." She gave me her present. It was lotions and bath gel from Bath and Body Works. She also gave me a plant and card she made at school. My husband got me perfume.





After church, we had my parents over for steaks, sweet potatoes, and that awesome cake. It was a wonderful weekend. Not because of the presents, but just spending time together and not having a time table to have to be somewhere was wonderful!
