Still Celebrating Mother's Day

 Friday morning I had some errands I needed to run.  I have putting off getting Sprout set up at a pet hotel.  I think my mind set was that if I didn't do it then I wouldn't need it but reality hit me in the face with Memorial Day coming.  Ron and Judy mentioned that they might go up to the cabin for a day or two and they would love to have us come.  A couple weeks ago the option of going up the canyon wasn't out there but their plans changed just a bit and there might be a chance we will go.  Thus, a place for Sprout to spend in puppy care while we are off vacationing.  I have to laugh because leaving him in some one else's care is almost like leaving your child with a baby sitter.  You worry the whole time you are away wondering if the kids (puppy) is okay and if the children (puppy) are being loved and well taken care of.  I know that is silly, but it is how I feel.  So I got all the papers needed and got that little project done for the just in case times when we will be leaving him this summer.

When I got back, Maren was here to wish me a happy Mother's Day.  And she brought me some very nice presents.  But, the greatest gift is the time the two of us spent visiting and sharing.  Those are always special times spent with Maren.  

She gave me some honey roasted hand made peanut butter that is to die for.  So delicious on sliced apple pieces.  She also gave me a gift card for $25.00, a candle, hand soap and some lip balm along with a bottle of strawberry lemonade.   Thanks, Maren for the the gifts and for our visit.

I text her after she left to tell her how delicious the peanut butter was (peanut butter is about my most favorite flavor) and told her that I didn't think Judy would mind if I said that I was thankful she (Maren) was my daughter.  Which I am!!!
