Mother\u2019s Day 2012
\n The weather for this Mother\u2019s Day weekend has been perfect. Saturday, my husband and I worked out in the yard for most of the day. We are trying to reclaim our gardens, which were inundated with dirt dug up to lay the foundation of our cottage, construction debries, and general neglect for more than a year. In a few weeks, the landscape outfit will come in and re-do the brick walks and patios, but the growing things need help now.
\n In the evening, we dined on Salmon grilled outside and then, relaxed in our Jacuzzi. We were so tired and relaxed that we didn\u2019t even make it to the 10:00 PM newscast.
\n Sunday, Mother\u2019s day 2012, we struggled through the Sunday newspaper\u2019s crossword puzzle as we ate BLT\u2019s for breakfast. There was a good turn-out for church that morning, considering we have no priest, so it was Morning Prayer. I think we all make more of an effort to support each other without the \u201cpaid leadership\u201d.
\n The afternoon sunshine made more gardening a pleasure. Our PA, truck driving son phoned during lunch and our CA computer whiz-kid phoned in the early evening, as we were grilling tenderloins for dinner. Once again, we soaked in the Jacuzzi before toddling off to bed.
\n The most precious of my Mother\u2019s Day messages was an e-mail from the younger of the two grandson\u2019s we raised. He wrote:
