Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day from wintery Rochester! Yesterday a cold
front blew through taking with it our power and pulling down limbs and branches
all over the city. We still didn’t have power this morning and the RG&E’s
estimate was maybe by midnight tonight. Last night we ate dinner Buffalo Wild Wings,
and then headed over to Barnes & Noble. We hung out there until 9:30 when
we finally came home. Thanks to our camping lanterns we could read
in bed until we got sleepy.

This morning we woke up to SNOW!!!! I have to admit it put
me in a pretty unhappy mood. I really hate being cold (the house was down to
58° before we left for brunch), and I still have a lot on my “to do” list before Sarah and Adam get
here—all of which requires electricity. Ah, well. 

Here’s the Mother’s Day card I made for my mother-in-law:

Cardstock: Dark Chocolate PTI; patterned papers: Jillibean and October Afternoon; stamps:  Just Rite and Papertrey Ink; ribbon: Pure Poppy PTI; Spellbinder’s Oval Nestability & Standard Tags

With Tracy’s sister, Jill, and her family, we took Ellie & Bill to brunch today. As we were leaving the street, an RG&E man told us it would be tomorrow before we’d be back online. Jill and Tom have a generator, however, and Tom was headed our way with it, when suddenly we had lights—and most importantly, heat! It was an unexpected and great Mother’s Day gift. Hope your day has been filled with happiness and family.
