So here's the short of it, 
What a great Mother's Day!

And here's the long.

Thanks to my family for making this a great Mother's Day!

Alan, Liga, and Valdis and Kalie made dinner.  Mom and Mommy Anne were here.  I'm really grateful that they are both still here and so close by. I had some great cards and a wonderful text from Shelley, as well as several phone wishes from some of my friends/relatives who share this mothering gig.  My four legged kids were specially sweet to me today too!

I got a great flower bouquet from Valdis, Liga made a spectacular fruit tray, and Kalie made some really good brownies.
 
I'm a lucky Mom!
