and I know that I have used that title before, but too bad. LOL
We have had a wonderful time with our dear friend Sue and her grandkids (pictured above having breakfast on the verandah) over the weekend - its been so nice being able to kick back and just enjoy the company, the animals and of course the wonderful surroundings that make up Massie Lodge.
Some of us had a late start to the day (not pointing any fingers Evan!), but one of us had to stay up and watch Liverpool win into the wee early hours of the morning! But that's what its all about isnt it? Taking the time to do things that we really want to do.....
As I sit here I can see the white cockatoos swarm over the paddocks in waves going back to their trees for the night, ready to make the journey again in the morning once the sun comes up.
I did take a moment today and reflected on previous Mother's Days gone by, and had to laugh at myself as I used to get up at the crack of dawn and annoy the crap out of my mother and try (and try is the word!) and cook her an edible breakfast and leave the kitchen in a mad state of chaos. Still, she would always smile and give me the biggest hug and we would sit there and chat over her gooey eggs and a cup of tea.
Iam also reminded of the times that we went away on holiday and my best friend of many years would come along as well and we would surely try my mother's patience out to the end! We were always getting into mischief my friend and I, but my mother always managed to see the funny side of some of the crazy things we got up to. She was surely one in a million.
I guess with occasions like Mother's Day, I do miss those times spent with the most important influence in my life.
Tomorrow sees the birthday girl being taken out for lunch in town... do you think I will wake up feeling any differently tomorrow? Do you think that there will be a new found wisdom and maturity that only comes with being 42?
LOL, I doubt it!
I bet I wake up and am still the same old dag that Iam today. Not that there is anything wrong with that!
