Mother's Day was a great day. My sister came over around 9 am and we had coffee and cake with Mom. Then that afternoon my brother and his family drove down (3hours) to surprise her! So she had a wonderful day with seeing all three of her kids. I had been waiting to give Mom, her drawing from Rick and it was a hoot watching her unveil it.

The whole post is priceless. What an amazing job Rick did... I just love that man. Besides the fact that he's a pretty darn good artist, he is so creative with how he manages to imbue his doodles with the personality of his subjects.
And your mom... wow. What a beautiful lady and I love that she knows how to throw her head back and have a good laugh. She looks like she really enjoys her children, her surprises and life.
Thank you Dar, for sharing her surprise and joy at your very thoughtful Mother's Day surprise. I am in awe that you managed to wait to give it to her. You must have been dancing with anticipation.

Your Mom is so gorgeous! And what a lucky woman to be able to see all of her children on Mothers Day!
Great idea! I'm so happy she liked it.
It's written all over her face.
Your mom is gorgeous but why does she have 4 coffee pots? My mom's a coffeeholic too.
Pop and Ice-thank you very much, that is the one day my siblings to break their necks to get here. We usually have a big blow out but this year we just played it by ear and it turned out just as nice!

I LOVE this! The photos of your mom are just priceless - and the throwing her head back and laughing one? I LOVE it - I can almost hear the laughter!
And any woman with 4 coffee pots is a smart woman, in my book!
