Mother's Day Part 1

There are two part's to Mother's day this year. As we are having two separate celebrations. One was yesterday with my mom and the other will be Saturday with P's mom here at the house.

It was a quiet day with Mom. Her and dad had breakfast out with my older brother J while P and I ran a/v at church for both services. We snuck lunch and a nap in before taking Mom's favorite gelato over to her house.

My other brother who is out of town sent beautiful flower once again!

And I gave Mom a pair of hand knitted socks.

They are a lighter weight pair and if the rain and cold weather stay around she might be able to wear them this week.

Pre-Thanksgiving Meal

Today was a pre-Thanksgiving meal at my parents house. I had to train at my new job and so Mr80grit took me to work this afternoon and then picked me up at 6pm. We quickly set off for the parents house. Mr80grit pick up this lovely flower arrangement in a pumpkin for my mom. It really made her day!!! He is such a great guy. He wanted to make sure that it still felt like Thanksgiving for my parents but especially for my mom. Let's all say it --- Ahhhh!



It was an awesome meal. Pot Roast, baked potatoes, fruit filled jello, gluten free rolls and my mom's delicious green bean medley seen below. I love it! It has green beans, green and red peppers, mushrooms, with a dressing of brown mustard and some kind of vinegar...sorry, I can't remember. Oh and onions...forgot until I looked at the picture. It is really yummy!



We relaxed after dinner with talking, Mr80grit working on Mom's computer and then we finished up with the best pecan pie from Charlotte's Bakery!!! Yummy!!!! With homemade whipped cream on top!!! (yes it is gluten free!) Now we are home again and are totally stuffed. Definitely will not need to eat until tomorrow afternoon!

Have a great night!

New Flowers

Remember those beautiful flowers from Monday? When I went to work on Wednesday, they were brown and dried up even though they had plenty of water. So the great flower store took them back and replaced them today. (They have a five day guarantee).

So Mr80grit brought them to my current work this afternoon where we all enjoyed them. Then he brought them home for both of us to enjoy them this weekend as we have tomorrow off together. The Christmas Expo starts tomorrow and we are going with my mom. It is an annual event for my mom and I, this year we are letting mr80grit come (to carry everything! hahaha!)

So enjoy my flowers with me! Yes, those are chilies - not edible. Sorry!

Training at new job

I started training at my new job and guess what met me there?



These beautiful flowers were hand delivered by Mr80grit himself. They are the perfect size for the office and will be enjoyed by all. I really had a great day there and I am really looking for to working there each day.

Weather update: Only rain today with snow in mountains - no good pictures
