On Sunday morning, Mother's Day, Chase and Daddy went to church. The church was giving away beautiful long-stemmed red roses for mothers and grandmothers. Chase and Daddy brought home one for Mama and one for Nanaw. In the afternoon, as a Mother's Day present to Mama, Daddy and Chase washed Mama's car, waxed it and vacuumed it. This made Mama very happy. She sent a Nanaw a picture of Chase vacuuming and also a picture of Chase playing on the trampoline. They all came over to Nanaw's house about 4:30 for Mother's Day dinner. Uncle Mike grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Mama brought party potatoes, chocolate crème pie, and cheesecake from a box. Others there included Aunt Becky, cousins Robbie, Kris, Nichole, Lindsey and her boyfriend Dylan. Nyeal and Irina were also there. Aunt Becky brought Chex Mix and her wonderful, special brownies. Nanaw provided Caesar salad, fruit salad, and ice cream and Cool Whip for the brownies. She also got some lactose free vanilla ice cream for Chase. Chase did a lot of playing on the keyboards, both upstairs and downstairs. Nanaw got lots of wonderful presents: her Mother's Day garden with tomato and cucumber plants, marigolds, beautiful celosia plants (Nanaw thinks of them as fox fire but nobody else does.) From Mama and Chase, she got an air fryer toaster oven, a Waino calendar with a picture of Waino and the puppy the Cardinals gave him when he retired, a Cardinals umbrella, a balsam and cedar candle, a Nanaw notebook, a candle that says from my favorite child (but it came from both of Nanaw's favorite children, Mama and Uncle Mike), bubble gum and an Amazon gift card. It was a perfect Mother's Day.
