Happy Mother's Day!! It has been an amazing journey. My first Mother's Day in a very long time as a normal sized person. It is such a great feeling. Today I got up and we went and did our Sunday routine of my Starbucks and then groceries. My in laws had given me several beautiful flower plants for Mother's Day when we got together yesterday and celebrated. So after coming home I replanted all my flowers into my flower pots. I have not done that in years but since I cleaned out my garage last weekend I knew exactly where my beautiful pots were. I also had picked up a rosemary plant at the grocery store today and planted it in the yard. Growing up we always had rosemary plants in the yard and this is the first time I have not had one. I hope it will grow ok here in the hot San Antonio sun.
Friday night got together with my best friend who lives on the other side of town and one of our friends from when we first met in Japan. He was in town on a work trip. So we all went out to dinner and then out for a few drinks. It was such a great time. My hubby took a picture of the 3 of us and I was so pleased with how thin and healthy I looked. It was such a fun night. So glad to be able to enjoy capturing memories without deleting all the pictures of myself. Yay! That is a victory!
So Friday night when I got home I took my dogs out to potty. It was a little cooler...and as I was standing outside on my steps one of my Mother's rings (I have 4 rings with each of my kids names on a ring) fell off my finger and fell perfectly into the crack on the steps. I was so sad. So today my husband had to pry the step up (which was not an easy thing to do) so we could get my ring out. Guess I am going to have to put those clear sizers on when I wear them. So glad we were able to retrieve it. If not, he would have had to order me another one. And they were not cheap because they are hand crafted. He had bought them for me for Christmas and they are absolutely gorgeous. Although at Christmas they were a bit tight since he went by my wedding band size but your dominant hand fingers are always bigger. I am attaching a picture from when I first got them.
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!
