I was surprised.
Why? Well, because the Professor was on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic.
Dukes is across the countrysetting up for conducting court.
Boo is in Buffalo.
And Suz.....well, she's in the vicinity and even came for dinner with a sweet gift, a funny card and her cute friend Mandy. She had even conspired with the bishopric in a surprise tribute to all the mommy primary teachers! All this while attending to business in her own BYU ward.
I was happily surprised, that's all. With my immediate family scattered to [mostly] the north and easterly winds, I didn't expect anything at all.
However, it was far from a lonely Mother's Day. Shawn, Jamie, Duncan (and Liz) were under this very roof. Jamie, Duncan and Liz shopped for food and cooked us a super nice roast with mashed potatoes and a yummy Caesar salad + dessert: strawberry shortcake. It was heavenly. AND, they did all the dishes afterward. That was heavenly, too.
The professor emailed to say he'd been bumped up to first class and had had a lovely flight to Milan.
Dukes called from Sidley's War Room. Boo in Buffalo called. And the Suz came to keep me company.
I talked to my very own mother who continues to amaze and inspire me in all ways.
Then went for an invigorating walk with the dinner cookers and Shawn on a lovely spring evening in O-Town. 'Twas a lovely day indeed.

Glad it was a wonderful day for you! You deserve it! I also had a wonderful day, and was spoiled beyond belief. It's almost embarrassing!
Happy late Mother's Day!!
Very, very lovely day. Thanks for hosting all of us, Neesh. You're always so kind to open up your home to any and all.
