Better Late than Never

"Mothers have need of sharp eyes and discreet tongues when they have girls to manage."
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

I'm just now getting around to saying Happy Mother's Day to my amazing and beautiful mother! I love the quote above and thought it was perfect for a Mother's Day post, since it reminds me so much of my own mom. I love you, mom! I don't know what I'd do without you!

Also, I want to say a belated Happy Mother's Day to all the other moms in my life (including, but not limited to): Debby (my wonderful MIL-you're awesome), Patty, Mom Glenda, Mama Dugan, Granny June, Liz, Crystal, and Chassidy.

To all these moms (including my own), if I'm ever blessed with a family, I hope to be half as wonderful a mom as you all are! I love y'all!

The Last Birthday

Yesterday my husband celebrated what we've been laughingly referring to as his "last birthday." He turned twenty-nine. He says that's as old as he's going to get. His family came over for dinner, and we all had a fun visit!

Happy Birthday, Sweetie! I love you very much!

Unbelievable

I don't even know what to say about this story. I would love to see this guy in action!

Landscaping

Okay, before I had a house I didn't think I'd care anything about my yard. That was going to be David's domain, and he could worry about it, but now I'm so proud when it looks good. Here are some pictures I took that show the results of David's hard work a couple of weekends ago.

New Page Element

I added a new list on the side of my blog. It's what I'm currently reading. I get this question a lot, so here are the answers. Also, if you click on the titles they're linked to Amazon.

The Queen is coming!

So, Queen Elizabeth 2 is making a visit to the U.S. You can click here for the story. Even people who are used to dealing with protocol on a day-to-day basis are thrown into a tizzy by the arrival of a monarch and the endless list of do's and don't's.

Happy 99th!

First, happy 99th birthday (yesterday) to my great-grandmother, Mama Dugan! I can't even begin to imagine the things you've experienced. Things I've only learned about in history class...you lived through! You're an amazing lady!

That leads into my summary of the weekend. The extended Dugan clan gathered at the lake to celebrate with the matriarch of our family! We had a great visit, great weather, and great food! I'll come back and post some pictures this evening, probably.
