Mother's Day 2026

I had a really nice Mother's day weekend. Friday night we went out to eat to an Italian restaurant. It was really good.

Saturday, we went to the town wide yard sale. It rained all day, but we still had fun. I got a candle & a crystal book.

We went to Lowes & got free flowers. Mine are purple. I think they are Petunias.

I got 2 clearance plants. The 1 on the left is a purple waffle plant & the 1 on the right is a pan am pilea. They are both really cute.

 Sunday Tara gave me my gifts & 2 cards.

Salem, MA

We went to Salem at the end of September. 1st we went to a cat museum. It was cute, but really small.

We went downtown. It was packed. There were characters walking around.

Venice, Italy

  We went to Italy in June. We went to Venice, Florence, Rome & Sorrento. I loved Sorrento & didn't like Florence. I had so much fun. I loved it there. The food was so good. I took pics of most of my meals. We had gelato a few times. The bad thing is I got really bad blisters, so it hurt to walk & we walked everywhere. The drivers are crazy there. Worse than Boston & NYC. Lots of scooters that just cut in front of cars. Here are some pics from Venice.

Dubai chocolate gelato.

The hotel.

Tara is 18

 I don't know how it happened, but Tara is 18. She turned 18 on 7/21. She graduated & is now in college. Still living at home for now. I'm happy about that.
