Crochet Me Crazy

Had a nice Mother's Day. Jeff got me a Satsuma Tree! Our neighbor's have one that is loaded down every year and I've been saying I want one. Once ours starts producing, between ours and the neighbor's tree, we will have more than we could ever eat! Our neighbor's tree yields so much fruit every year that between them, us and another neighbor we eat as many as we want and still have left overs. The kids will go pick whole Wal-Mart bags full of them.

Michael gave me a rooster plate that goes with the one he gave me for Christmas! He spent his own gift card for Hobby Lobby he got for Christmas. He wanted to get me a really good present.



Alison gave me a bag of Recese Peanut Butter Cups that she bought with her own money and two cards. One she bought and one she made herself. I love her homemade cards and she always writes the sweetest notes in them.




My kids are so great. I am very blessed to have them both.

Then we went out to eat at Pappadeux Seafood Restaurant. It was very crowded but the food was good. Alison had her face painted while we were there waiting.




We went to go see "Granny" (my mom) and brought her a hot fudge sundae from McDonald's. She doesn't eat much these days but she sure loves those sweets. She really enjoyed it and ate all of it. It's very sad to visit my mom most of the time now and seeing her deterioration.

Today, we found out that she had fallen again. She is okay. She's very frail and unstable. I went by again today on our way home from Alison's dance class and brought her another hot fudge sundae since she seemed to enjoy the last one so much. She was looked very distraught when we went in. She brightened up and was happy about the sundae again. She has reverted to a very child-like state. I tried to just talk to her like normal and she seemed to enjoy it even though she can't really converse anymore. The words just aren't there. She ate all of the sundae again. We took a few pictures tonight. I realize I need to start taking more pictures because I'm not sure how much longer my mom will be with us.
