05-09-21 Happy Mother’s Day!
I woke up this morning remembering a funny moment from last night when we were watching the movie and they were at the St Louis Arch. I said, “Hey I’ve been to the top of there!”, to which nearly 14 year old Gene replied that Père had been too. I laughed and said yes we were there together. We had a good laugh that he forgot we had been married.
I spent most of my day intermittently doing chores, puzzling and watching my stored episodes of Saturday Night Live. Last night’s was epic with Elon Musk and Miley Cyrus. They were both great and I always love the Mother’s Day episode when we get to see the cast with their Mom’s. It was nice to have the tradition back this year. I do have a crush on Miley. I just think she is talented and brave and authentic. Her voice is uniquely recognizable as well. Elon was most entertaining right from the monologue onwards. He told the world he has Aspergers Syndrome and he was adorable with his awkward Mom. What an incredible mind.
I am ever so grateful I made the choice to filter my whole house water supply when I see what a difference the in is to the out…
Between chores I began one of the puzzles Rae leant me and I am quite enjoying it. I am making it last longer by not looking at the picture on the box. It has tiny pieces and all sort of shapes. It also has a different picture on each side. I do like it.
Around 4:30 Danika brought Emmy over with a picture she’d made her mom draw and a pinecone. She gave me a hug around the neck and didn’t let go for a long time. As they were leaving she turned and said, “ Happy Nana’s Day!” It was just what I needed. Her Dad called me a little later and we had a good long catch up about his upcoming move closer to his job, how well it is going and the hope that he will next be up for Father’s Day. I can’t measure the gratitude I have to hear the joy in his voice. We were talking about which of the three of them is like me and he broke in to say all three of them had good parts of me. Genetics truly are amazing. It has been a wonderful weekend to fill my tank back up!
The rest of the evening involved me making a nice dinner, watching my shows and continuing to enjoy my puzzle. Gene called to tell me he loved me and wish me a happy Mother’s Day, and to let me know they were disappointed I wasn’t there when they woke up. I told him I would have a sleep over after I get my shot. That is happening this week! Yay! He’s a good boy. A teenager, for sure, but a good boy. He reminds me a lot of Jake at that age.
Blessed, I am.
