Happy Mother's Day!

Here we are...both of us without our moms...it's sad...we both sort of got used to it...and we both think of them every day...but it's always sadder on Mother's Day...the ads, the flowers, the commercials...sort of get to us after a while and we just get a little bit sad. Photos, videos, and memories...sometimes just aren't enough. Sigh!


We get over it but just for this one day...this one moment in time...we both wish we could see what our moms were doing to make us giggle and laugh the way we did in these old photos. I was never far from my mom because I hated not being with her when I was little...and Den...hmmm...Den...he was never far from his mom because she couldn't let him out of her sight for even a minute! Both of us had moms who were our biggest fans...they thought everything we did was amazing...lol...now we have to cheer for each other.

Here I am on my wedding day with my mom. I wanted an unconventional wedding...with lots of flowers. My dress was a designer STRAPLESS gown but I had to wear a cape in church at Mass...lol...



And here Den is on my wedding day with his mom! Everyone argued with me but I did not want a tuxedo clad groom...lol..


To Louise and Helen...

Nobody gets us the way you both did...we miss and cherish the time we had with both of you.

Hugs...always...

Have an awesome Friday! We are mowing...Den...and deck reading...Patty, Lucy Grace and Roxie Blue! Every day they get just a little bit more relaxed with each other! Whew!

Salad Frenzy?

Love this book...just got it...it's so easily organized. We truly eat tons of greens...and salad for dinner is what we do much of the time. I love it because I can do all of the prep ahead of time...when Den comes home...all I do is pull it out of the refrigerator whenever we are ready!

Allows us the time to chat before dinner!








The salads are not complicated...at all...last night we had Salad Nicoise...a simpler version than I was used to...extremely good.

Tonight it's a Cobb Salad! In fact it's chilling right now! All of the salads have lovely easy to make simple dressings...yum!

So...are you a salad eater and if you are...what is your favorite salad?
