This Mother's Day I am especially grateful.
My mom no longer lives in Florida.
She and my step dad moved here to Tennessee last month.
For the first time in 8 years...I have my mom here with me to celebrate this day.
I won't be sending her a card and gift in the mail.
Nope.
I will be spending this evening in downtown Nashville at my sister's apartment eating pizza and watching Steel Magnolias...just us three ladies.
I am so excited.
A night of tomato smothered carbs and Ouiser Boudreaux.
Yes please!
We told her we were taking her out to eat.
We lied.
My sister and I bought her a new sewing machine for Mother's Day.
She is super crafty and needs a machine to channel all those creative juices.
Plus I need some new throw pillows. :-)
In the last month she has become my yard sale, thrifting, and antiquing partner in crime.
I am loving it.
I am also loving the friendship I have found in our relationship that goes beyond mother and daughter.
I pray one day that my Maggie and I will share the same sweet bond.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful ladies!
