my sister and i took mother out to eat saturday lunch(cracker barrel). then my sister and nephew and brother in law took mother grocery shopping.they gave her their cards on saturday. i had to play tennis on saturday in the little local league( we again were slaughtered). we all ordered pizza for dinner and watched movies. i gave mother my card and $ on sunday after church and took her shopping for the afternoon. we got something to eat on the way back in. yo, il2bt even though you didn't burn anything, i know you were still hot in the kitchen( extra points for bare feet as always, hopefully no spider sensing). sounds like your mother and grandmother both had a wonderful mother's day because of you. yo, ness i'm not a big seafood fan but i know from friends' comments that no one ever, ever leaves red lobster hungry. sounds like you had a well-deserved good mother's day too.
