Mother's Day 2023

 We had a nice Mother's Day! The family came over. Here I am with our son Mike.



And here are the three girls with me.


Jazz had on the cutest shoes. She told me they got them at Goodwill.



Jazz & her Dad.

Phil & Mike had some long talks.

The two youngest girls have been taking tennis lessons. Since Phil has not been able to play anymore due to his arthritis, he gave them his racquets and tennis bags. I must admit this was a sad moment for me. Phil always loved to play and has won many trophies. The end of an era I guess.


A rare photo of all three girls on their devices at the same time!


They brought me this huge hanging flower basket, so beautiful!

ha ha on the sweater. my mother used to call me at 6 am and say put sweaters on the boys, its cold outside. I live 20 blocks from her, and I would say, Mother, I feel the same cold you do, no need to remind me. she kept doing it though. Love your flowers, I bought one for myself but it is 3 colors of rose moss better known as Purslane. by the first of the new year I am thinking you will be the shortest person in your family, your younger girls are growing by leaps and bounds. I wish i could have colors on my walls. bob has to have white. your living room looks so cheerful and happy

I like those shoes, such a nice goodwill find. :)
Sad to pass on the tennis stuff, but I know Phil is happy it went to his loved family!

What a wonderful Mother's Day you had, Ginny! Those flowers look just like the hanging plant at Jess' house. Did you find a nice place to hang them? That's great that the girls are learning to play tennis. And awesome that Phil was so good at the sport back in the day. Jazz' shoes are cute. You can really find some cute things at Goodwill. It's fun to browse through the home items there.

Have a good week, Ginny. Love your pretty side bars, by the way.

What an idyllic day, with your loved ones around you! And although I understand your sadness at Phil giving the girls his tennis gear, just think how much fun the tennis gear will have, being used for its intended purpose! The girls will bring it back to life. xoxo
