MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND 2024

Hello kindred spirits....
I hope you all enjoyed being honored and pampered
to a special Mother's Day Sunday....
perhaps you received flowers, chocolates, fragrance,
went to dinner or had the love and attention
from your children...how lovely to just enjoy
time spent with those you love....

The weather was near perfect here in the great state of Texas....
on the cool side, breezy with a bit of sun.....
we spent much of the time outdoors, continuing to lay mulch
and listen to the sounds of nature....
the day could not have been lovelier....

Mae's memorial garden is looking spectacular....

This will always make me feel she is still near....I miss her so.....

The boys grilled up some seriously delicious steaks...
along with Caesar Salad, divine herbed mashed potatoes, asparagus and french bread...

Just look at this stunning floral bouquet I was gifted....beyond beautiful...
I am so grateful....

This gorgeous candle from Bath and Body is a show stopper
in appearance as well as scent....

The refreshing Charleston Brunch Punch was loved by all....

Don't you just love a Sunday morning brunch?

Rather than quiche or a frittata. we chose eggs over easy...
a family favorite....

And, my fresh berry cream cheese puff pastry

I love making these for any occasions....

And oh honey....
the creamiest buttered grits ever.....
Jim Dandy is my favorite brand for grits....

Bacon and prime rib sausage....

and oh my....the best Strawberry Custard Cake
was the perfect ending to Saturday night dinner...
compliments of the bakery of HEB

How very blessed we are as a family...

it's a rainy Sunday and it's time to get cozy...

See y'all next time where we can talk about

our summer gardens... 

MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH PUNCH

Good Morning to you all......

we are one week away from Mother's Day Sunday
so the planning has begun....
My gift has been ordered for our precious Miss M
which may just appeal to her sight, smell, and touch..
a bit of personal pampering which she so deserves.

I am planning our traditional
MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH
and am in the throws of searching through
cupboards and pulling out favorite pieces
to design the look....it's really been fun doing so....

The ladies and Moms so deserve to be honored on this special day
and it's perfectly fine to guide the boys in this special gathering.....

My brunch menu is going to not only be delicious,

but a bit unique...I am including old favorites

along with some special surprises which

should delight the taste buds.....

I like being organized when planning a celebration
which includes organizing the menu
and then deciding on the serving pieces....

I am really loving the style and colors of this special brunch

We have had many rainy days this spring,

so it's a safe bet to plan on dining indoors....

I wanted to share a favorite punch recipe,

which all the family has loved over the years

and one which I have served at many wedding and baby showers....

 

This was a bridal shower I hosted and served this Brunch Punch....
so delightful and refreshing....

CHARLESTON'S BRUNCH PUNCH

IN THE KNOW...protect your peace

Did you know butterflies rest when it rains, because 

it damages their wings?

It's okay to rest during the storms of your life.

You will always fly again, once it's over.
