Mother's Day

Since my mom had knee surgery last week (she's fine), we decided to postpone our larger Mother's Day celebration for a week, but I still got to have my Mother's Day.


Presents:




Cards:




At church, a rose and a special performance on the hammer dulcimer in honor of all the moms:




Control of the TV remote in the afternoon (Deep Space Nine!):




Finished off with a lovely dinner at my favorite restaurant:



Yeahhhh, I've got a great life.

Forced Home Improvement

Saturday morning, a little dog got off-leash during a walk and came exploring up on our porch.  Jenna was highly offended by this and made her feelings known:



So, thanks to Jenna, we had to get new window coverings for the living room.  We couldn't find blinds we both like (especially since Jenna was likely to mess up *any* sort of blinds), so we went with curtains.

Really changes the look of the room, nu?  Thing Two says it looks "more grown-up", though for the room to look truly grown-up, we'd probably have to get a real couch instead of a futon.

Jenna says, "Hello!"  I got a terrific deal* on an ebook about iPhone photography and, consequently, got a few new camera apps for my phone (some free, some not), so consider this your "heads-up" to expect a bunch of "creative" photos in this space in the not-so-distant future.


* I purchased a giant package of ebooks, and this was one of the many I selected.  Many just didn't apply to me (homeschooling, parenting young children), but many were highly appropriate for me.
