Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

We spent the evening at Gale's house as she is recovering from ankle surgery.

Maya is reading a book to Gale (aka Gigi) and Sol.

My Mother's Day gift was a homemade dinner.

Red Leaf Lettuce with Shallot Dijon Vinaigrette and Balsamic Red Onions

In my opinion, the onions were the best part of the whole meal!

Penne with Five Cheeses hot out of the oven.

(aka Macaroni and Cheese with Ketchup for Maya)

Stewed Pineapple, Raspberries, and Blueberries and Vanilla Ice Cream

The family minus me.

There I am!

Tomatoes are getting tall.

Had to stake the basil. The wind was taking a toll on the taller plants.

View from above.

It's hard to see, but there's a blossom for my hot banana peppers.

Amanda's Wedding

I was lucky enough to be Allison's date to her cousin Amanda's wedding at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Sorry you couldn't be there Ryan.

The table assignments and place cards were in small plantings of succulent, which were also the favor. I loved them!

I collected several succulents from out-of-towners that couldn't take their favor with them. They are my new kitchen babies.

Happy Birthday to Me!

My parents took me out to dinner for my birthday.

We went to TRIO at the Four Seasons.

I requested a very complex coconut birthday cake. Thanks go to Bobby Flay and my mom.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday Dear Ellyn!

Cake and filling was my favorite part. So yummy!
