Dearest Mother dearest

So the OM asked me on Saturday if I wanted a fancy coffee cake or what on Mother’s Day and I said what I really would like is a donut. So he said he would go to Dunkin’ Donuts on Sunday morning. What kind of donut did I want? I said I would like a plain cake donut or a cake donut with chocolate frosting.
So on Sunday morning he duly left the house at 7 a.m. to go to Dunkin’ Donuts. He came back with half a dozen donuts: 2 blueberry, 2 glazed and 2 chocolate cake donuts with frosting.
What? When I questioned him about his selection, he said, “Well, that’s what they had.”
Sigh.
Anyway, I went to church where we were celebrating our confirmation class kids who were confirmed two weeks ago down at the Cathedral. It was a nice service and afterwards there was a reception and cake. I gave my mentee one of my favorite Frederick Buechner books and to my surprise, she gave me a present:
A birdhouse that looks like a church! I was very touched. I’m sure Brigid and I will be lifelong friends.
The boy and daughter #3 came over for dinner. We bar-b-qued turkey burgers and drank leftover beer from my birthday party.
Good times and a happy Mother’s Day.

OF COURSE re the donuts. But the birdhouse is very cute!
Love the Kandinsky and the bird house–AND the tray on which the birdhouse is sitting!
That birdhouse is great and your day sounds as if it was very nice, too. 🙂
