Celebrating Mothers' Day!

I had the best Mothers' Day yesterday. It started with Rob and Ella bringing me breakfast in bed and my presents. Ella made a card and picture and the two of them bought me a pretty watch--perfect gifts!

Then after Mass, Ella and Rob gave me another gift---they gave me time to work out at the gym while they took my car to get it washed and vac'd out (it really needed it--it's one of those things I can never keep clean...I don't even try)!

The day before Ella picked out an indoor tropical plant for me when she went to "the tool store" with Rob. I had a great spot picked out for it in the living room, although Ella had a different place in mind (she quickly moved it to where she wanted it---she's a girl who knows what she wants)!

We all spent the rest of the day at Uncle Bill's where he had a delicious meal for us (the highlight for Ella was the cake and ice cream). Rob's parents joined us, too.

Thanks to Madge and Dad who sent me a really nice card and bought me a beautiful hanging flower basket for my front porch! Last week, in Harrisburg, my mom took me out for dinner, too. Unfortunately, I had a computer/camera glitch and the pictures of our time together and gift exchange got erased, so I don't have any to share.
