Chase and Daddy went to church on Sunday morning, and they brought home two red, long-stemmed roses, one for Mama and one for Nanaw. Mama said she got all kinds of gift cards for Mother's Day plus a Battlehawk hoodie, and Chase and Daddy washed and waxed Mama's car and also swept it out. Mama, Daddy and Chase came over to Nanaw's house at 3:30 to help get ready for the Mother's Day dinner. They moved furniture, blew leaves off the deck and wiped down the railings on the deck. Nanaw was very appreciative. Chase gave his science fair presentation twice to Nanaw; first, he read everything from his digital poster. Then, based on Mama and Nanaw's advice, he gave the presentation with just a glance or two at the digital poster. Chase is going to give the presentation again to Nanaw Monday afternoon. There were 14 for dinner, and that included the precious 15-month-old Hudson who's as cute and sweet as he can be. Chase was excited that 10-year-old Jeremy was there for him to play with. They had a great time playing baseball out in the front yard, table-top hockey on the bed in the computer lab, plus playing with kinetic sand. As their Mother's Day present for Nanaw, Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky planted tomatoes, cucumbers and flowers. They planted beautiful New Guinea impatiens on Nanaw's porch. Uncle Mike also put netting over the top of Nanaw's grapevines. The vines had pushed through the existing netting and a lot of bunches of grapes were above the netting where the birds could get them. Uncle Mike grilled chicken, pork steaks and hot dogs for dinner. Mama made her delicious party potatoes, and Aunt Becky made a cheesecake dessert, a chocolate Oreo pie and all kinds of yummy cookies. Besides the guests mentioned above, guests included cousin Joe and Julia, Hudson and Jeremy's mom; cousin Lindsey; cousin Nichole; cousin Robbie; Irina; and Nyeal. Cousin Lindsey forgot the coffee pot she got from Becca, but Uncle Mike took it because he's going to see her tomorrow.
