Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!!

Yesterday...Mother's Day luck was on my side. My safety is due on the black car...it's going today. Yesterday coming off the highway into New Minas, they are doing a spot check...well, when I saw that I near crapped! Graham and his friend, Connor are in the car with me and I'm telling them to keep their little yappers shut about anything I may say. I haven't decided whether I will play stupid or tell them I have the appt today. The first officer waves me to the second officer because alot of cars are coming off the highway. There is one car in front of me when I get to the second officer...the guy in the car is reaching for his license, etc and the cop is trying to wave him on...he's already checked the tags, etc. The guy took so long and the line up was getting longer that the officer just waved me through...OMG! I could not believe it! Connor, Graham and I were highfiving it!

Saturday, we went to Halifax to get Elysia's prom dress. We were all malled out by the time we got done. We accomplished what we set out to do though...she has a cute little dress, that according to Mike required more material...guess that's the father in him.

Graham made the first cut for the rep baseball team. Their practice was yesterday at 2, guess what time the rain and wind arrived at...yup...2! The field was already flooded so we tried the other field...the kids went out to throw the ball around while the parents and coaches huddled in the dugouts. Needless to say, they cut it short.

After baseball we went for a visit to Grandma's house. Mom had her bathroom redone a while ago and the guy just kind of biffed everything into a pile in her garage. Well, it was big garbage day so mom and I went through the pile, got it all bundled, bagged and out to the curb...what a mess!!

Did I mention my breakfast?? Yesterday, Graham was bound and determined he was going to make me breakfast in bed. Mike was working, it's convocation at Acadia and there is no way Elysia will rise that early. When I got out of bed, Graham sent me back. Mike had gone to Tim Horton's in the morning and bought some tea and donuts. Graham made me toast though, really dark toast with jam...mmm...and an apple, and a yogurt and two exta large teas, and a box with 3 donuts and two croissants in it...he somehow managed to carry this all upstairs in one trip. I had trouble taking it downstairs, not sure how he did it.
