Living in Illinois since May 28, 2006 means that I've been apart from my mom for the last 4 Mothers Days. I think of her every day, but this holiday makes it especially hard. We talk on the phone every day. Sometimes multiple times each day! :) It makes me realize how lost I would truly be if she weren't around. (These thoughts make my stomach hurt...) I am incredibly blessed to have such a giving, loving woman to guide me through life's challenges. Thank you, mama.
While mom was relaxing back home with dad in the pool yesterday, Justin, Jill, and I were having a yummy Mothers Day brunch at Richard's Farm in Casey. The place is an cute restaurant that was once an old barn. Behind it is a cute garden that you can walk through to see the beautiful spring flowers in bloom.
Upon arriving home, I spent the next few hours lying out on a lounge chair & basking in the sun with my four-legged son, Lucien. I swear, he loves to be in the sunshine just as much as I do! All in all, it was a nice, relaxing day. There's nothing better than lying in the sun with a good book (I'm re-reading Charlaine Harris' Dead And Gone, so I can pick up the next one in the series, Dead in the Family).
