Blessed!

 I was blessed this 2021 Mother's Day. 

Jeremy and I host Mother's Day each and every year. For the past 23 years we have grilled a turkey and enjoyed a wonderful feast with my parents and my boys. 

This year was extra special. All were able to make it, the weather was amazing and I think after 2020 each and every celebration we are having this 2021 is just extra special.

My parents helped us chip limbs from a dead tree we had to have professionally cut down in our yard.

The past two years, our son Sam has been deployed. It was very special to have him attend the party this year and he brought Catie.

And now for a few snap shots of how I was spoiled.

  3. Wow! you sure have been spoiled. Such lovely gifts. That chipper looks just like mine. We used it this week to shred all my garden debris. It makes lovely mulch.

    Take care, hugs.

  9. What a wonderful Mother's Day, Carla. You got spoiled like me with so many lovely presents. That blue sea glass necklace is cool. What a perfect gift from Sam. That was so nice of your Mom and Dad to help out around the yard. All your gifts are so special, Carla, and given with love from your family. That fudge! I want some with my coffee!

  10. Wow, you were certainly pampered with wonderful gifts. So glad everyone could make it. Yes, celebrations are definitely getting better than 2020. Let's pray that this continues and we can move past Covid. Have a nice weekend.

  11. I have tears in my eyes. I love to see a mother treated as your family treated you this Mother's Day, and as I am sure they always treat you: with deep love and respect, and a knowledge of exactly who you are, down deep. My children are the same and I must say that of all the blessings I receive throughout the year -- too many to count -- from the hand of God, the ones that come on Mother's Day touch my heart the most. I am so glad you all were able to continue your tradition this year, and I hope that for all the years that remain until we all get to heaven, this will be the case. xoxo

  12. I sense a theme - all of them have to do with flowers, except the necklace (that's a really cool necklace!). Happy Mother's Day!
