An Absolutely Lovely Mother's Day

Do you have a picture in your mind of the 'perfect' Mother's Day? Well, I can assure you that I do! Is there any mother who doesn't?  My perfect Mother's day would start out like this...

I'd like to have a lovely breakfast out on the deck in the the morning....

and of course I'd like some flowers...like the ones Rebekah arranged for me yesterday...

Walk in the Woods by Christian L. Rodgers

In the afternoon, we could go for a walk in the woods--You never know what you will find around here...

And of course...I don't want to cook. That goes without saying. I'm sure Tim or Rebekah could grill some steaks or chicken for us...

And I might could even talk Rebekah into making us some chocolate covered strawberries... She could just click here for easy instructions for how to do the whole meal  Hint...hint...



Between the whole family efforts, I think we could have a lovely Mother's Day dinner...

And after the dishes are done...(not by me of course! :o)  then we could spend the evening playing board games....

And after the kids were off to bed...we could watch my favorite movie, "Miss Potter"...It's not a movie about motherhood in particular...It's for any woman... It's all about romance, art, imagination, beautiful English countryside vistas, writing, children's story books and even dancing... It does have a great lesson for mothers though..to believe in your children's dreams and giftings. Even your youngest children would love this movie. :o)

And that would be the perfect ending to my perfectly lovely... Mother's Day...

 What would make your Mother's Day....just about perfect?

Happy Mother's Day!
