Happy Mother's Day!

We celebrated Mother's Day a little early like we always do to avoid the crowds.

My daughter, Tiffany couldn't figure out what her grandmother would like to have for Mother's Day so she commissioned us to take Grandma to Sears to buy the blouses that she loves.  I confess I teased mom about only liking this one style but then remembered that I do have a secret number of those Target C9 V-neck t-shirts that I love in every color.

After settling on these two blouses we were off to Roy's in Ko'Olina.


I'd won a $25 gift certificate to Roy's restaurant at my 45th high school reunion last year.  I was looking forward to using it.  Roy's is right next to a gorgeous golf course.


Mom enjoyed having a very peaceful luncheon overlooking a pond of ducks and black swans.


Yes, it was very good.  We were so full that we had no room left for dessert.


To all of you who are moms or love moms or had a  mom, Happy Mother's Day!!!

    We also celebrated early--Mother's Day and college graduations put an overload on this area.

  16. I'll use my real middle name today--Butler--which is my Mom's family name, in honor of her, Jean Butler Chapin. Looks like your Mom also had her hair done. Looks good. She seems to get younger month by month. The picture of her and Art striding across the street to go to Roy's is touching. I'm not sure why. Will have to think about that. It's a keeper photo. They are in synch, so I'm picking up the vibe that, like me, he never has had a mother-in-law problem.
