“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.” Proverbs 27:2
Yesterday, Mother’s Day, I was officially queen, of our 
house, for the day. A fabulous meal was made by Joe, Sydney, and Holland. This included BBQ ribs with homemade sauce, the sauce was outstanding, ginger-glazed carrots, salted and seasoned grilled baked potatoes (even the kids ate the skins), marinated grilled shrimp, and marinated grilled pineapple with ice cream for dessert! I wasn’t even allowed to help, or clean up! It was odd at first as I kept checking to make sure they knew what they were doing:) Then I couldn’t resist walking around the kitchen cleaning up this or that. I was quickly, but kindly, kicked out and told that I was not to be doing any work. And so it was, I did not. They created it, cooked it, and even cleaned it up. It was delicious! As you can see from the above pic, I was even worthy of the red plate. The red plate was a tradition in the Blossom household growing up. Whether it was your birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or whatever the special occasion might be, you got the red plate. My kids thankfully have helped to carry this on in our house as I often forget about it. It warmed my heart when I walked into the dining room and saw the red plate. I was definitely made to feel like “queen” for the day!
As you can see, I wasn’t the only one enjoying the day! While it was a little cold, too cold in my opinion for my kids to be wearing shorts (kids are resilient, right?) it’s never too cold for the trampoline or swing! Definitely a day enjoyed by all!
I'm so glad to know you had a beautiful Mother's Day, friend. And speaking of beautiful, you've created a wonderful spot here in the blogging world! I'm excited to share even more of our adventures together.
