It’s a couple weeks later when I write this, so I don’t remember all the details. But today (May 24, 2020), I’m reminded yet again, how much I have to be grateful for in Lily. Not only did she cook all day so our family could truly bliss out at dinner, but she recommended a family movie night watching “Wonder”. It was such a touching movie, and I’m so grateful for a wife who brings such amazing content into our home. She cares so much for me, for her mother, for the children. She told me that Mother’s day was a good day for her. That warms my heart. For all she does, for all she gives, she deserved to have a good day on her special day. Her mother too. Lily is a chip off the old block, and they are both angels in my life.
Mary started off the festivities by making breakfast in bed for Lily. I ate most, if not all, of the bread because Lily is dieting. It was such a sweet gesture!
All in all, the name of the game for Mother’s day was to have Lily exert as little as possible. She spent time in her bedroom rejuvenating while I made breakfast, took care of the kids and got our lunch picnic ready. Here are some scenes from the morning.

Weather was beautiful for a picnic. We had fun cheese, crackers, grapes, turkey sandwhiches, and Lydia’s cookies. We took two picnic baskets. One was full of food. The other was full of nice notes from the children to both Lily and Georgia. I also took some time to read yesterday’s blog post (May 9) to Lily.
Georgia was not feeling well, but she decided to power through to join us for lunch. She is so sweet, and it’s amazing how she is always a light, even when she doesn’t feel well. We love her!!!
After the picnic, Clarissa napped and we did home church.
I made a nice salmon dinner with potatoes and corn for everyone for dinner.
After dinner, I likely (hopefully) gave Lily a massage. It’s two weeks later and the details of the day are fuzzy for me now.
The important thing is that Lily said she had a good Mother’s Day.
I love you sweetheart!!!
I also had the opportunity to talk to Suzanne who has been such a beautiful influence in my life. I wrote her a sincere email the day before, but had the blessing to talk to her on the phone. I also wrote my mother a nice email the day before. I love her so much and we didn’t chat today because she said she was traveling and likely wouldn’t have reception. I also wrote Georgia a nice note. Truly my life has been blessed by amazing women.
