Mother’s Day Recap

Mother’s Day this year was so special.  For once in a number of years I had a ton of plans.  I love having plans on the holidays even if they are not major ones.

This year I will be attending to family BBQs.  I really enjoy BBQs as well, especially with the family.  For both events I have volunteered to bring a dish.  When it comes to cooking for a BBQ, my talents really emerge. One of them will have a potato salad while the other will have a fruit torte.  The fruit torte is truly going to be a masterpiece.  This is an expensive treat to make but it is worth it when all is said and done.

Before I leave for these gatherings I also have to be sure that my gifts to the mother’s are wrapped and ready.  This year’s shopping was easy because I spotted the perfect gift for both of them a month in advance.  In one of my many gift catalogs I discovered a fairy toad house that I absolutely fell in love with.  I almost bought one for myself but decided that the expense of the two I was buying was expensive enough.  These Moms are going to fall in love with them too.  I can’t wait to see their faces when they open them.  The look
should match the look when they taste my dishes as well!
