Mother's Day Weekend

 

Friday we drove down to Statesboro to celebrate Mother's Day with Clay's mom. We tried a new restaurant, South & Vine Public House.  We started with ceviche which was delicious, I had scallops with angel hair, bacon and mushrooms which was a treat!  The place was packed...thanks to the combo of the holiday and Georgia Southern's graduation weekend.  The service was really stellar though especially considering how busy they were.

 

Killer and Lily went with us to Clay's mom's  house and they played and played.  Lily ate several chewy bones, got scared by the flashlight, smelled Jefferson the cat, and sniffed out critters in the yard.  Killer was content sitting with Clay's mom, eating lots of people food, and hoarding her chipmunks.

 

Saturday morning  Lily and I got up and went for a walk.  The weather was beautiful!  Wild blackberries were growing all along the side of the road but I didn't have anything to put them in so I picked up a random beer 12 pack that was just laying there.  I was surprised when I saw there was a black widow inside (Clay just got bitten by a black widow at home recently),  I slung it out and smooshed it, and then I used it to put berries in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday evening we went to Dudley and had Mother's Day dinner with mom, Mema, Johnannah, and Scott.  Sunday we actually were able to sleep late, even Lily slept in.  She and I went for a walk when we got up.  Then it was housework time and I went to weed and water the garden.

 

Mother's Day

 
I went down to Dudley for Mother's day.  I got to visit with Mema, Shelley, Walker, Norah, Johannah, Scott, Mom, Drew, and Sarah.  I hung out Saturday over at Aunt Johannah's with Mema, Shelley, and Norah.  She is about to have her first birthday.  We have the same birthday which I think is neat!  She is such a little doll, so well behaved!  She was holding my necklace and thought it was hilarious to pretend she was going to give it to me but when I reached for it she would pull it back.  You can see her little nose all scrunched up in the picture above, the first time she did this I was talking to her and I thought she was about to cry.  Come to find out she apparently makes that face when she is happy.  Too cute!

 
That evening mom and I went to Shaffer's in Dublin for dinner and had a great meal.  Then we went to TJ Maxx and got snacks to smuggle into the 10pm showing of Dark Shadows.  I had to work Sunday night so I was going to have to leave the next morning.  When we got in from the movie I whipped up an egg scramble with spinach and oats for the dogs since I forgot their dog food.  They ate then we all attempted to sleep.  Chico was driving me crazy wanting to go out 5-6 times per hour.  After 1.5 hours of this I put him in my car outside since the weather was nice and cool and the sun wasn't out to heat it.  Killer then started bothering me about going out so I put her in the car too so I could get a few hours of sleep. I went out to get them the next morning and my car was covered in throw up.  EWW!  Apparently the egg scramble did not sit well with either of them.  I spent the next half hour cleaning my car.  So much for getting home early in the morning so I could rest before going to work that night.  We went over to Johannah's and we had Tamales that her friend Myra made, some coffee, and a lemon bar.  I got to see Sarah (she was in Augusta shooting a wedding the day before).  Then I drove home, passed out for 3 hours and went to work.
