Sundae Sunday

No more ice cream posts after this, but I have to say that National Hot Fudge Sundae Day was perfect for today. It made a wonderful excuse to visit Mom on her anniversary (not that we needed one) and make her a special treat. I want so much for her to know that she is loved and treasured, and I really needed to do something special today too. It's been an emotional couple of days.

My sisters were both busy with previous commitments today, some things can't be changed, but Dave and Leta were there to share the sundaes and Lucas found it quite possible to get a little taste of ice cream from whoever was willing to share, like his grandmas. Little Simon slept through the ice cream party but had plenty of time to smile and snuggle afterward just the same.

It was a nice day. Perfect weather, the kind for opening up the windows and letting the breeze blow through.

  1. Sorry I didn't go, I wish I knew you guys were going there. I would've come too. I'm glad you went and made the day as special as it could be for her. I love my Grandma.

  2. I just love the pictures of your sweet mom....these pictures bring up so many memories of my mom. She was widowed at 54, and never remarried or even went out to dinner with a man. She said I am a one man woman and now I will but my energy into my grandchildren...which she did. I miss her.
