Dev and Dall got up early and made a delish breakfast! Thanks so much you guys! Ry got me a dozen peach roses, and my two favorite treats- Swedish Fish and Lindor Truffles - MMMMMM - never had those for breakfast before, you've got to try it!! I requested a picnic lunch, so since the weather was windy and cold we picnic'd in the basement on some blankets. Great memories made!

I got to accompany my dear friend, Mari, while she sang the song "She" by Cherie Call. It is such a perfect Mother's Day song. I always think of my saintly Mom when I hear it. Here are the lyrics:
"She is not the picture on the magazine
She's the woman just behind you at the checkout stand
She may appear to be common but she mystifies
In all the ways the wisest men and children understand
'Cause she has eyes that sparkle with her love
And she has a smile that's as gentle as a dove
And no woman from a movie or an ad could ever hope to be
As beautiful as she
She is not a highly honored diplomat
Held responsible to lead the world to peace
But what she does is every bit as serious
Amidst the turmoil everywhere that will never cease
'Cause she has hands that wipe the tears away
And she has a voice that makes everything O.K.
And no woman from the papers or T.V. could ever hope to be
As indispensable as she
And it breaks my heart every time I see her wonder
If she means anything in this world that pulls her under
And she doesn't always see the way that Heaven smiles above her
That's the reason I try to always tell her that I love her
'Cause she may not be known for giving millions
To the charities and auctions on the news
But I believe she's given more than anyone
In all the times she's ever had to choose
To give up sleep to rock her children every night
And give her heart to always hold their dreams so tight
And the best that you or I could ever hope to be
Is as wonderful as she
And the best that you or I could ever hope to be
Is as wonderful as she"
