Yesterday was Mother’s Day. Jesse and her boys drove to Nashville with friends to see Lion King; so Kate and I had the day to ourselves. At first, Kate seemed a little bored in the short time after she woke up. She didn’t get up until 9:00 or so and wasn’t dressed for the day until 10:00. Because it was Mother’s Day we had reservations for lunch. It was jam packed when we arrived, but we were seated right away. We enjoyed our meal. Then we came back to the house where Kate rested for about an hour while I worked on the computer and read the paper.
After that we went to the an old cemetery where they were having special guided tour at 3:00. For some reason Kate had originally said she didn’t want to do the tour, just visit the garden. The tour had just started when we arrived, and she seemed to enjoy it. The cemetery is beautiful, very park-like. When we finished, it was 4:15. Kate expressed interest in eating. That surprised me somewhat because we had finished a big lunch at 1:00. I do know from the past that she often feels like she is hungry long before it would be a normal time to eat. I thought about going someplace just to have something to drink. Then Kevin called to wish Kate a happy Mother’s Day. While we were talking, I drove to the river front. After Kevin’s phone call, it was 4:45; so we went into a restaurant with the intent of getting a light dinner. It turned out we split a prime rib and followed that with a Boxcar Brownie. It was two fudge brownies with three scoops of ice cream. We were stuffed but happy.
We came back to the house where we watched a little TV until Jesse and the boys followed by by their dad. He had flown home after being gone for a month or so.
We got to bed around 10:00. We had had a good day.
