Wow! What a delightful trip.
Two weeks ago (tomorrow) I left for my daughter's in New York. We celebrated her birthday, Mother's day, attended a Southern Women's Club luncheon, bought some new clothes, began a search for a wedding gown (My grandson and his sweetie are getting married next May but it's never too early to start planning), Susan hosted a get-together in their backyard for Tighe and his friends and their parents. An end of school tradition. and so much more. I did far better than I thought I would. Tried to sneak in rest periods here and there and I slept very well at night. Then Susan drove me back to Virginia. We got to my apartment Monday night and I can tell you, that traveling, although so much fun, is hard on these old bones! I am sooooo tired. I ache, I feel like somebody threw my body against a brick wall.
And....
My son is taking me back with him next week for a visit at his home in Alabama. Talk about being a bit on the crazy side. I wonder if I will be rested enough by then to head out again. I'm going to have to see to it, that's what!
Here are just a FEW pictures from my trip.... When you get tired of scrolling down the page just hop off here and say 'That's enough!'
Susan and I at the Southern Women's Club at Susan's friends home.

flowers from the yard for the get-together for Tighe's friends
My 'welcome' bouquet
A combination bouquet from oldest daughter and granddaughter, Marie and Yvonne, for Mother's day
A potted hydrangea for me from grandson Owen
Too soon, it was time to leave. Tighe was in school, Owen not up yet, so Grffin and Kelsey bid Susan and I a goodbye and safe journey.
On the road again.............
heading to Virginia with a smile on our face and food at hand. Perfect vacation.

It looks like a lovely Mother's Day and time away! I enjoyed seeing the pics of your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time you enjoyed! The creme brulee looks almost sinful ... and is that a Cosmopolitan I spy? You my kind of gal!

ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun time! Your family really treats you right! And what good looking grandkids too. I know what you mean about car trips, sure make you stiff and sore sitting for too long. Have fun on the next adventure!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Latane, if only to rest up before your next adventure and what great celebrations you enjoyed with family. The flower arrangements were beautiful and everyone looked happy to see one another. Recoup and relax before heading to Alabama.
