I have been really busy the past few days! We had our Mother’s Day Tea at my daughter’s preschool. It was super sweet. I choked back the tears as the children sang to us.
Princess made several special presents for Mommy, but here is one that doesn’t have her name on it. 
Here she is posing with some flowers she made for me.
Saturday was my Daddy’s 88th birthday! He was given 3 years to live (about 12 years ago). I am so grateful that we’ve had all of this time with him.
I spent Friday afternoon at my parent’s house making this delicious Pineapple punch bowl cake! Yum! If you want — I might share the recipe with you. :o)
Just so you know, if your parents have spilled food in the “catch tray” under the oven “eye” and flames start flying while you’re cooking … POUR SALT ON THE FLAMES! Yes, that happened to me at their house and I almost freaked out! I spent Saturday cooking chicken & dumplings for them — then I fried some okra and some squash. They were thrilled. But the fire & salt thing — great to remember!
I spent my Mother’s Day waiting on others. I should get a DO-OVER for me. Ha. Oh well, I’m thankful to be a Mommy.
On a totally different note:
The winner of the Seed Family Worship CD giveaway is …. GINNY at Faith, Hope, and Tea Therapy! Congratulations Ginny! I used random.org and you were chosen! Just shoot me an email with your complete name and address and I’ll get it to you: [email protected].
Have a great weekend everyone~
You are so precious for taking care of your parents, bless you. Your daughter is also a beautiful blessing. That cake looks delicious. Hope your dad enjoyed his birthday. I love you sis.
Happy Mother's Day to you, Beth!
Beautiful precious time with your baby girl! Yes, I have set the oven on fire and I, too used salt to put it out.
Hope you have an awesome day.
Hugs, andrea
Happy Mother's Day dear sister. What a powerful testimony of God's lavish healing powers upon your Father..Happy Belated Birthday to you Daddy too!
Congrats to Ginny. She is just such a precious dear sister in the Lord. One of the first bloggers I connected with and was able to chat on the phone with.

Such a sweet Mother's Day Tea you had with your daughter. Love her polka dot dress.
God must have your daddy here for a special reason. Pfft. what do doctors know? :o) Yum on the cake!
I need a do-over too for Mother's Day. I served my family, and my MIL served us.
Love the Mother's Day Tea and your special gifts. How sweet of you to cook such a yummy meal for your parents!
How precious your princess is! Oh and that cake, must send recipe! Oh and your daddy, what an amazing gift to have him here with you. God is so good!
Such sweet presents from your princess!!! :o)
She has the sweetest little face! So glad you still have your parents with you and yes! we want the recipe! I know you are such a blessing to your parents although you might not feel like that some days.
Drats! I missed your giveaway! Girl, I don't know which end is up anymore! You and your little daughter are the CUTEST! So happy you had a wonderful Mother's Day and you were able to celebrate your daddy's 88th birthday. He's a walking miracle! Enjoy every moment because you'll miss your parents like crazy once they're gone…I know!
Always fun to look in and see all you are doing. I agree a do-over mother's day is in order for you. I had a lovely one of rest, and resigning of usual motherly duties. Blessings.
Congratulations to Ginny!
I know you must be exhausted, but how sweet of you to minister to your family. Yes, I think you need a day of pampering! 😉
Looks like you had a blast at your daughter's school. Sorry I haven't stopped by. Happy Mother's Day to a great lady!
What a fun time. Mother's Day celebrations with the kids are so fun. Princess looks so precious. I love the crafts she made. They are treasures for us mommies.
You look beautiful friend.
Hope your Mother's Day was Blessed.
