Good Morning Kindred Spirits....
I hope you all had a lovely, enjoyable Mother's Day
and were able to enjoy your children in person or by phone!
We had the pleasure of two out of our four kiddos
and we talked, listened to music, enjoyed the outdoors
and ate absolutely delicious food!
Here are a few highlights of the day.....
