Happy Mother’s Day to all of you out there.  For me it’s a quiet day with friends and family.  Mark gave me a hammock chair that will be great at the cabin (if the water stops rising).  Even cooler was that the hammock chair was on sale for 33% off when they bought it.  (my chair is blue and white, a little different then the one pictured)

Of course the guys being the guys, had an ulterior motive.  Last year every time one of us would achieve optimum relaxation on our hammock, Oliver would come out of nowhere and attack us and knocking us to the ground.  This gives Oliver another target.  That being said, he will just attack both of us.

My other gift was a heavy duty immersion blender.  Mine finally died and I really wanted another one.  I know guys get in trouble for giving out appliances but this is one that I really wanted.

I also wanted a new recipe box.  After looking around at some kitchen places and not wanting to pay $35 for a cardboard box, we checked out Staples and they had these recipe boxes that I really liked for just under $10.  Perfect.

One more thing, Maggi bought me a new headlamp.  Jordon told the dog that he’s tired of me always using his (and never putting it back). Maggi is just hoping for some late night walks at the lake.  I fear what we will find.

Later this morning, the boys are taking both me and the Reimers to the Saskatoon Inn  Tony Romas for Mother’s Day brunch.  After that I will find some time to think about where to hang my new chair before Lee stops by for supper.
