I hope you all have a great Mother's Day week-end. My mom passed on a few years ago so my Mother's Day is a little
each year now. However, the day does give me a chance to remember some of those past Mother's Day memories and gifts....One my mom always "bragged" about was the time I took her out to a fancy steakhouse/seafood house when I was 17....way cool 
We are going family camping in a few weeks, Angie had time before a yoga class the other day so she went to the sporting goods store to look for a new camp stove. Her old one is small and may not be big enough for our group. She mentioned one that she wanted me to look at...well, after work yesterday I went and picked it up.
Then last night after we went out for dinner she says..."Hey, let's go look at the stove"
...ha! Well we did and after she went all through them she changed her mind on the one and decided to get 2 separate ones...ones with 2 burners...after she loaded them in the cart I told her she couldn't buy them 
I had to explain "why"...We bought the ones she picked out and I will return the other one...so much for the surprise 
Angie is not the mother of my children but she is an outstanding step-mom and my kids certainly appreciate her and are aware of that
This morning, actually Angie just left, my daughter and Angie are running in a 5 or 10K....they will decide during the race which route to take....my wife's knee is hurting a bit and my daughter had a 12 miler yesterday and her IT band in sore...so...maybe a 5K....then they go to breakfast and then to the chocolate festival
Tomorrow my son and dil, my daughter and the kidnapper, and my ex-wife will join us at church....then my son and dil are taking Angie and I out to breakfast, then all of us are going over to my ex-wife's house for a late lunch with her and her SO.
Should be a great week-end for the ladies
I hope the kids and men in your life have great plans for you and you, that are fortunate enough to still have your moms, make their day special
