Mother's Day

Saturday Ron told me to get in the car that his Mother's Day gift to me was a trip to....

So Fredicksburg we headed. If you know me you know that I LOVE going there. We got to Wildseed Farms and had a blast walking and looking at all the plants, flowers and flower pots. Ron picked one out for me. I'll have to post a picture of it once I get a plant/flower in it.
We walked the trails and trails of wildflower fields. They were beautiful.

After walking through all the fields we sat in the patio area and had a peach ice cream and water...lots of water. It was HOT. As I was sitting there I saw the most unusual flower. It was called (or so the sign said) an "Iron Cross Blossom". It kind of looked like a water flower, but it was on a vine that had grown to cover a brick wall.
After the Wildseed Farm we headed into Fredricksburg to walk Main Street and eat at Auslander Restaurant. It was great day just me and Ron. He's such a sweetie to do that for me. When I'd ask him if he wanted to do this or that he'd say, "It's your day, I want to do whatever you want to do" and he did just that.
Sunday for Mother's Day Ron and I cooked for my mom and my kids. I know it's Mother's Day but I HATE to fight the crowds of people at eating places. My kids gave me a very special Mother's Day gift. They had photos taken at the train depot here in San Angelo and gave me a collage of the pictures. I had always regretted that at Mark & Whitni's wedding we didn't get a picture of the 4 of them, so they did that for me.
My mind drifted alot yesterday to my MawMaw. I know her first Mother's Day in Heaven was perfect. I remember all the Mother's Days in Abilene with her, my Mom and all my Aunts. I've been richly blessed for many years.

The Pitcher

Baseball Season is in full swing around our house. Nolan is playing for the Northern Tigers this year. He usually plays 3rd baseman. This past Friday night he got his chance to pitch. He always like a chance at this.

He did a pretty good job. His pitches aren't as fast as they need to be, but his accuracy is good.
