I'm truly blessed !

What a wonderful day!!! I got to see all but one of my chicks! After church (and Nat sang, that was my FIRST gift!!!) , we went to Michael and Kadie's for lunch! Michael, Brad and Big T cooked us burgers on the grill! YUM! Kadie's mom and dad were there as well as their sweet neighbors, Callie and Todd and precious little Will  (who just turned one!). Kadie had her usual great side dishes and Nat brought us some JOHNNY RAY'S CHOCOLATE PIE for dessert! We enjoyed being with everyone at M/K's house and Pat Pat called me there after lunch. I ALMOST cried b/c this is the first Mother's Day I haven't been with my sweet Pat----ever in his life. It was hard but I will see him Saturday! HURRAH!!! (and we'll be in Destin for a week so I hope I can see him every night while we're there!). Anyway, We took the kids outside and watched them play on the swing set, etc. and gave kudos to the beautifully freshly painted HOUSE! It's GORGEOUS! (see the first few pix!) Also, they got some Mexcian tile on their front porch that is just fabulous! (Check it out! Will is crawling/walking on it!).....I got some great gifts! A precious devotional book (can't wait to read that!) and beautiful necklace from M/K! I LOVE it and it totally matches my new outfit!!! Of course, being at their house is always a gift as well---they certainily have the "gift of hospitality" ! I got a precious ROSE that Kemp made me and a cute lounging outfit for the beach from Nat/Brad and some precious flip flops (with rhinestones, of course! What else from the rhinestone Nat?!). Katie gave me so many gifts I've lost count!!!!!!! PRECIOUS Outfit/some new Croc sandals/a CRICUT cartridge/some of those incredibly soft house shoes/a scrapbook carry all/some earrings and probably more that I have forgotten!!! Charles and Rachel got me some great bath items from one of my fav stores "3 sheets to the wind" and a beautiful monogramed towel---!  As you can see, I got some great stuff!!!!!! And all my cards were just precious and so so sweet, too! (Michael's made me laugh and Natalie's made me cry)!....After we left there, Charles and Rachel came by for a visit and we had fun hanging with them, too! Her mom is moving here in a few short weeks so Rachel is thrilled! I'm so happy for her!!!.......What a wonderful wonderful day.It started off great with great music (thanks Nat!) and a great sermon and what could be sweeter than to be around 4 of my 5 fabulous incredible kids and 2 1/2 grandkids! I am the luckiest, no, THE  most BLESSED woman in all the world!
