May 14, 2018. Madison, Mississippi. Mother's Day.

We celebrated Mother's Day at our house. The restaurants are too busy to be comfortable so Christina brought lunch here. And Christina's Mother Linda came too. Our day was warm and wonderful. The first thing they noted upon arrival was that we had no chairs at our dining table. Chantes is taking them apart and glueing them back together so we hope they do not wiggle. Ken, Linda and Kate sat at the breakfast table. The rest of us sat in the living room. We ate lunch from Serin, our favorite Thai restaurant. Christina had ordered the food on Saturday so on Sunday all she had to do was to pick up the food. As usual, the food was excellent. Molly and Kate took turns using the big black massage chair downstairs in the massage parlor. They loved it. For dessert, everyone helped themselves to mini Hershey chocolate bars from the crystal bowl in the center of the table. They were one of the 8 bags of chocolate Ken ordered. The girls were in awe when they saw our chocolate in the pantry. And they loved the dessert. Our Mother's Day was lovely. Talking to our young people is always a joy. Gill is in England, at Cambridge. They celebrate Mother's Day in March or April but definitely not on the second Sunday in May. We celebrated the day in style.
