A Perfect Mother’s Day
The simplest things in life fill me with joy. Today was one of those amazing days. I woke up in our snugly cottage after a ten hour sleep! I can never sleep that long in the city. After our morning coffee we headed down the back trail to enjoy a Masala tea and grilled cinnamon bun at The Spirit Rock Cafe. While there, Julie recommend that we try the Danish made by a Danish baker across the street at The Sand Bar Motor Inn. We purchased two maple and pecan delights that I thought were going to be for later in the day, but when my husband started in on his-I wasn’t going to be left behind. Delish. We perused the Mother’s Day buffet and were duly impressed-$9.95 for quiche, eggs Benedict and more danish varieties. Next year…..
On a sugar high, we decided to walk the beach. I have still seen ice on the lake some May Long Weekends and here we were in t-shirts and I in a skirt walking the sand with no one else in sight-bliss.
My husband tidied the cottage while I finished my book on the deck. The kids assembled for dinner and our son handled the barbeque. Pork chops are my favourite supper and his were cooked to perfection.
Gifts of a beach bag and a pashmina in mauves and aquas, a hand-thrown pottery wine decanter and a Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution followed. Beautiful and heartfelt cards from my girls and a sung card from my guy.
A simply perfect day-I love being a Mom!

Sounds like a perfect day to me, especially the singing, your husband tidying the cottage and the kids manning the BBQ:D
Glad your day was so specail. Your son was the bbq chef at our place as well. A great blessing he is so willing to serve. You did a great job.
