Mother's Day Weekend 2016

We had a fabulous weekend with David, Amanda, Sophia and Amanda's family in Inverness.

Karen had rented a house for the family and Lee and I were able to get a room in a nearby Bed and Breakfast. We all arrived in the late afternoon on Friday and enjoyed some schmooz and downtime

before having an amazing dinner prepared by Amanda...the most incredible lasagna ever.

Wine was flowing, conversation abound, and love was in the air! We were very surprised after dinner with a little birthday celebration for all those having birthdays in May...would you believe 4...Jeff, Veronica, Glenn, and Lee! Lee received a great tee shirt from the kids and the book Hamilton from Karen and Glenn...then there was a fabulous chocolate birthday cake for everyone! Yum! On Saturday we all met up at Port Reyes Station where we visited little boutiques, bakeries, Cowgirl Creamery, etc. We passed by the restaurant, Stellina, where Karen had made dinner reservations. It was quite damp and drizzly so we decided to go back to the house for some wine and nosh...some of us even took a nap after playing a round of Apples to Apples. Before we knew it, it was time to head to Stellina where we were treated to authentic Italian food. After dinner, we decided to watch the movie, Prestige, when we returned home..That movie was spellbinding leaving us with a lot of questions at the end. I recommend it highly! Sunday was Mother's Day and Amanda's first....to be able to share this wonderful day with her and her family was indeed a treat! All the Moms received heartfelt gifts and were blessed to be together! I also received a video from Michael of Lydia wishing her "Bubbie" a Happy Mother's Day! I couldn't have been happier!
