Happy Mother’s Day
May 12, 2008
I’m just getting ready to leave to visit my mother. She lives with my stepfather about an hour’s drive from us. As close as she lives, we still only see one another about 4 times per year. It is her choice. She is getting older and in the early stages of dementia. She wants to make sure she retains her independence. Having watched my grandmother go through the same thing, I want to make sure every time I see my mom that we have quality time.
It’s just me and my mom today. I’m leaving my kids at home. My stepfather will be putzing around the house. When we used to live in the same town, I would fix waffles with strawberries for breakfast. I think today we’ll go out to lunch and do some thrift store shopping.
It may not seem like much, but for me it’s what Mother’s Day is all about, just spending time with my mom to show her how much I appreciate her.
Have a Happy Mother’s Day.

Hope you had a great day with your mom. I think lunch and thrifting is a great way to spend the day!
Am taking my mom out today for lunch…she wants to go to Applebee’s.
Last night we met Lee’s mom and day at the Sizzler and bought her dinner, then they came over to see all the work in the yard and play a game of cards. Was a nice evening.

We did have a good time. We decided not to go thrift store shopping. We went to a couple dollar stores instead, then out to Subway for $5 foot longs. I’ll be having my other half a sandwich for lunch today…might be a bit soggy.
Have fun at Applebee’s.
