Today was a great day, but a funny day. I have wanted to take my Mom to the Mothers Day Brunch at Thanksgiving point for ever. I tried to get reservations last year, but they were all sold out. I called early this year and got reservations for Mom, Afton (my mother-in-law) and Jessica, Trixy, Wendy, and Rebecca. I was so excited. Wendy didn't get a baby sitter and Rebecca cancelled at the last minute. I woke up bright and early. I called Mom (she has completely lost her short term memory) at 9:30 to remind her and tell her to get ready. (our reservation was for 12:00.) I was walking past Afton's room (she is living with us since Fred Passed away) she said Susan is that you? I went in her room and she was so cute-trying to decide what to wear. She cannot see. She has a triple whammy. Macular degeneration, Glaucoma, and Cataracts (probably all mis-spelled) I helped her pick out what she was going to wear and went to get ready. I told her to wear her most comfortable clothes, since she is 95 and entitled to do what she wants. She finally picked out her blue pants )they are way too big because she is really thin now, and a new shirt she got for Mothers Day. She looked really cute. I left at 10:30 to pick up Mom. I found her in bed because she had forgotten we were going (the short term memory thing) I finally got her up and dressed, hair combed, make-up on, and in the car. It was quite the accomplishment. Then I headed home to get Afton. I got her in the car. Seat belted and we were on our way. I was breathing a sigh of relief. It was now 11:30. It took me an hour to round up the Grandmas. I headed toward Jessica's home. Rebecca called and said she couldn't come. That was alright, because I was just making it. I picked up my cute Jessica and Trixy was on her way. We got to Thanksgiving Point. Jessica and I helped the Grandmas out of the car. We walked slowly with our two little ladies on our arms. When I say slowly I mean slowly. We got in the restaurant and Trixy got there and we were seated. Then we went into the Buffet. WOW. It cost $27.00 a person and it was worth every penny. You entered and there was first this huge relish area, followed by cheese and crackers ares, followed by fruit area, followed by breakfast granola and yogurt, followed by bacon, eggs Benedict, french toast, followed by prime rib and ham, followed by beef tips, salmon, shrimp, trout,followed by oodles of yummy salads (spinich, fruit, green, potato) this was followed by this huge bread area. It had all these breads. Oh did I mention the giant chocolate covered strawberries in the fruit area. Then in the middle of this there was this big desert table. More chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate dipped cakes, cheese cakes, bread pudding with caramel, little chocolate things with a raspberry on top, lemon bars, and who knows what else. It was amazing. I want to make it a Mothers day tradition. Dennis said do it. Just put 15 or 20 dollars away every month.

Sounds good to me!

Any way HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL MOTHERS OUT THERE. I LOVE MINE. (THE ONES THAT ARE MY MOTHERS AND THE ONES THAT ARE THE MOTHERS OF MY GRANDCHILDREN)
