It was Mother's Day. Perhaps we Boomer moms take it less seriously for ourselves than the generation before us. But, there it is. And even though they have my permission to go about their own business on the second Sunday in May (something I somehow always forget to mention until after...), our kids always make an effort to make a connection of some kind with me on that day.
So sweet! Dylan is busy getting ready to attend the design conference in New York, this week, so we chatted on the phone. But Rachel and Megan were kind enough to invite us up for dinner, yesterday. 
There's still quite a bit of snow, up there. Less in the town areas than up higher, but you can see Megan in her skirt and flipflops grilling the shrimp kabobs whilst a few feet away is a patch of snow in the back yard. It's a back yard that they are seeing for the first time, as it's been covered with snow since they moved into the house April 1st. Room for some horseshoes, perhaps!
So, we had wonderful cheeses, poke and crackers followed by delicious shrimp kabobs, veggies, salad and bread. Megan baked chocolate chip cookies to go with the Cherry Garcia (my fave--and a killer combination) for dessert. They worked the meal like a finely oiled machine! I haven't been hungry all day, today!
By the by, we're enjoying getting to know Megan. Mellow and funny! She and Rachel are exploring the town, making new friends, taking hikes, and Rachel has begun to take guitar lessons. Says she's close to playing "Leavin' on a Jet Plane" all the way through, and hopes to build up calluses very quickly. All in all, they're doing great! Mainly, I just wanted to post some pics, so here they are!
