Hoping today finds you well!!
I wanted to share with you about Prom, Mother’s Day and some Big News.
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day thanks to my boys.
Like many of you, I am sure, I got flowers.
And Austin and Jim made me a beautiful breakfast that was nothing short of perfect.
Fresh Berries…
That were so pretty, I did take the time to snap a quick iphone pic.
Especially these… I would not have thought of this.
But Jim did and I so very much appreciated it!!!!
The second course was eggs and french toast. Yum.
Everyone was in jammies so no pictures of the people. Sorry (:
After breakfast and some major relaxing, I took a two hour nap.
And it was spectacular. And needed. And much enjoyed!!
… in fact, we all ended up napping.
Everyone was up late since the Jr/Sr Prom was the night before.
Austin is a Sophomore but was asked by a Senior so he was able to attend. I took a few photos, and Austin’s date Cassidy was sweet enough to make sure I got some of their photos too.
Pre-Prom pics – Thanks for sharing Cassidy!!
At the Prom pics.
I think a good time was had by all.
Which helped make for a super weekend here at Fox Hollow!!
The boys got me a new Orchid too.
So I’ve got now flowers – and later flowers. lol.
I want to take a minute to remind you that Debbie and I will be hosting a
Dollar Tree link party on Monday the 20th.
So get anything Dollar Tree ready to link up and share!
Now, the Big News is… that soon, I’ll have big news to share.
I can’t spill just yet, but I can hint that it involves:
Prizes… fanfare… accolades… a title…. and prizes.
Did you catch that there will be prizes?
Tune in on May 24th for the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.
(man, keeping secrets sucks.)
