Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!

On Friday I tried a recipe for Hot Wings (Buffalo Wings). It was pretty good. The only thing I might do differently next time I make them is to marinate the chicken wings for an hour or two before cooking them, instead of just brushing on the hot sauce. All I can say is, YUM!

On Saturday I re-potted my tomatoes and eggplants. The peppers were not quite ready for that, so I thought I would wait until the end of the week for that. It was fun to play in the dirt and to get those lovely plants in their new pots!

On Sunday, we drove south to meet up with my daughter, Mandy and her boy friend and his parents to celebrate Mother’s Day. We met at The Common Man in Merrimack, NH. We had a delicious meal, served by one of the nicest and most efficient waitresses that we’ve had in a while. Hubby and I had mussels and scallops and salads and fabulous and decadent desserts. Hubby had Key Lime Pie and Mandy and I shared a chocolate chip cookie ala mode. Matt and his parents had beef meals and Matt had this wonderful (and oh so gooey) chocolate lava cake!
Mandy and Me.
Matt and his Mom.
We had a great time, and before we knew it, our meals were over and everyone needed to go their separate ways. As we left Mandy and Matt gave each mother a beautiful vase of flowers. I love the flowers, but I think I love the vase even more. It’s beautiful!
So I send a big thank you to Mandy and Matt for one of the nicest Mother’s Days ever!!!
Love the pictures!!! Beautiful you and beautiful Amanda! Matt and his Mom too! Glad you had a good day! Love YOU, Mel
What a great weekend you had. Lovely, lovely family.
You have a beautiful daughter and you two look so good together. Glad you had a good time. Time with our kids goes by so fast, doesn´t it?
What a wonderful mother’s day you had ! I wished Marieken’s mother would have a little more family sense ! Besides Christmas I never hear from her. Strange people.
Glad you had a good time 🙂 Isn’t the key lime wonderful there? Dave took me here on our first going out dinner together 🙂
Sounds like a wonderful Mother’s Day.
I’m so glad you got to spend the day with your daughter. Such a sweet photo!
