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!
