Mutha's Day

Another hurdle has been successfully conquered by us with the passing of Mother's Day. Susan prepared a fantastic meal that we carted over to Mom's this afternoon and enjoyed with a party of se7en. 


It turned out to be a beautiful day. I would have liked to have had the time for being around the house, but I was okay with making the mother's Day thing happen.


We went to church and then finished the Historic Home Tour sponsored by the museum. We saw 4 houses today situated on the South Hill in the Rockwood Blvd area. We saw some really nice homes.


We then returned home and got to work on our catering job. Susan had most of it under control and I just followed directions.


We got over to Mom's just before four and got to work getting everything set. Once at Mom's, I had to fire up the grill to cook a couple of flank steaks for the main course.


While there, we discovered a good example of a bad mother. Well, perhaps that is too harsh. Let's say a mother who did not plan well or think ahead very far.

Above is a picture of the back patio light at Mom's. You can see she has lost a battle with a persistent Robin. While we were all out there on the patio enjoying the weather, we discovered that eggs had hatched and there were hungry chicks in need of nourishment.

The pinkish feathery shapes in the picture above are the three freshly birthed chicks. At least, I think they just hatched. While we were on the patio, Mama Robin was having a fit trying to figure out how to approach the nest and feed. We finally went inside to give her a break.

The whole Mother's Day thing went well and we went home where Susan passed out from exhaust...I mean, exhaustion.
