Hello Kittens & Dawgs! I didn’t get a chance yesterday to share my Mother’s Day events with you. DH took me out for my traditional Mother’s Day lunch of burgers and fries. I wanted to try Culver’s since it opened last November. We did get some frozen custard a few months ago which we liked but we hadn’t had their foods, so when DH asked where I’d like to go then I asked if he’d take me to Culver’s. We were not disappointed. We shared the Culver’s Deluxe which has two patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mayo which is just like I like my burger.
Both the hamburger and fries were excellent. We’ll definitely go back!
After lunch, DH snapped the above photo, then we headed fort Baskin Robbins for a scope of ice cream. That’s where DS joined us to my surprise. Going out for ice cream is another fun tradition and treat that DH splurges on me. Being able to share Mother’s Day with at least one of our kiddos made my day all the more special.
Tuesdays is my time slot dedicated for a bit of #get2knowme trivia and so I thought I’d share these little known facts about yours truly.
- At one time I thought I never, ever wanted children. This is true. I was certain there was no room in my life for rugrats. God planted a desire in my heart for a baby dissolving all of my earlier selfish wants to be childless. I’m glad He moved our hearts.
- The year DD#1 was born I turned 27. I thought that was a bit mature in age but since then several Hollywood celebrities have had their first child as old as 40. Now, that’s pushing it just a bit if you ask me.
- At the time of my first child’s birth I was almost 11 years older than my mom was when she had me. Yikes, I can’t image having a child at 16 then nor can I image a kid today having one at that age. That’s just way too young. Having a kid does force you to grow up but mentally you have a whole lot more growing up then you think.
- My grandma became a grandma at the age of 35. My mother became a grandma at age 40 (with my brother’s first-born). If things go well, then I will be a month short of my 57th birthday when my first grandchild is born.
Now, you know a little more about your hostess. Okay, peeps I’m calling on you to do your bloggy responsibility – VOTE for your favorite cover artist in round two of BoTB!!
I found an unfamiliar Barry Manilow song, I Am Your Child which is purrrfect for honoring my mother and all mothers. I’m sharing a female and male version of this song and I challenge you to listen to both to decide which cover artist you like the best!
