My Mother's Day

We started on Saturday by buying some flowers and taking them to my mother's grave. It was the first time I've visited it since her funeral in January '04. I just kept putting it off not knowing how I would handle it. Well, Saturday was a beautiful day and I decided during lunch that we should go. I didn't want to wait til actual mother's day, I wanted to go right then. We spent a little while "visiting" her and walking around the cemetery a bit reading tombstones. (There are so many people buried around her that were really young when they died! It was really sad.) I did get a bit teary eyed, but didn't cry (there).

Then Sunday, we went to the 8:30 service at church and then out to lunch with my mom's parents and my dad. Then we went to visit guru's crazy mom for a few minutes at the run down, hole in the wall bar she works in. We gave her a card and a teddy bear (she really doesn't deserve more than that, she's not been the best of mothers or grandmothers, but that's a whole other subject!)

For some reason the rest of Sunday is a blur to me. I honestly can't remember what else we did. I think we just came home after that, but seriously, I can't remember what we did.

I did get some nice stuff though. My grandmother gave me the same thing she gave trinity...the coffee cup with coffee mixes inside. My MIL gave me some glass thing that you're supposed to hang on a window. Apparently she has a friend that makes them. It has some etching and writing on it. Then from my kids I got the latest Avalon CD...


And this three diamond necklace....
