And A Good Time Was Had By All
We spent the weekend scattered to the 4 winds. The Other Younger Half went up the Brule river with some of her lady friends for a 2 night bacchanal. 'Nika and The Madster stayed at EG & DM's house overnight on Friday and KyKy went to a sleepover birthday party on Friday night. Madster and 'Nika made some lovely Mother's Day presents. When they were at the park by EG & DM's someone was giving away flowers to be presented as MD gifts. Petunias, bleeding hearts, and the best part about it all was that they were free. I was going to get TOYH mulch for MD, but the flowers were much better. The kids and I met up on Saturday afternoon until it was time for them to go to "Stars on Ice." Apparently this is an ice skating show, not a bunch of Hollywood types laid out in their cryogenic glory. A friend got her hands on a bunch of comp tickets and a great big crew from the 'hood went to the Target Center to see the spectacle. We spent Mother's Day afternoon and evening at the Loll's where Jon and Clary filled us up with shishkabobs. Lots-o-moms were represented there, The Other Younger Half, Evil Grandmother, Clary, Loll's neighbor Milde along with her family and Loll's friend Angela with her family. It was such a pleasant evening. Great food, and good conversation that eventually moved out to the front porch. We chatted and watched the kids (9 of 'em plus a neighbor or two) ride bikes, jump rope, ride scooters and chase each other around.

I received 1 dozen pink roses from my favorite son for Mothers Day
That's sweet. Did he give them to you in person or have them delivered?
Hand delivered with a hug and a kiss. BTW, DDH qualified for the regional track meet in Grand Rapids (our family seems to have a thing for that town)in the shot put today. He did manage to tell me last nite that he had a track meet today at 1:00. ""And since you haven't been to a single one of my track meets, can you try to make it to this one?" Try I did. And I missed his qualifying throw (and his entire competition) by only 30 seconds.
That's sweet.
Yeeeaaaahhh, Dando! Give him our congratulations. Kyky and the Madster are going out for track again this spring/summer, and Mads has decided to throw the shotput. We'll see what that gangly, pre-pubescent body of her can wallop.
Never went to any of Dando's track meets??? Hmmmm... like father, like daughter. I seem to recall a certain sister of mine complaining that her father never went to any of her swimming meets. Poor Dando will be traumatized for life, just like his mom.
