Thanks for the Mother's Day gifts

Today was Mother's Day....began with the usual Sunday morning trip to the markets (like the Proverbs 31 woman who brings her food from afar, watches for bargains, and gets up before dawn to prepare for her household.....); phone call from Cheyne in Sydney; off to church (did the Children's address about Mother's Day with chocolate handouts for all the Mums); home for morning tea and scones made by Anisia; a call from Rikki in Adelaide and a chat to my Mum, also in Adelaide; phone call from adopted Indian son Nishan (thanks for the call); a friendly !!!??? game of Carcassonne with the person wielding the dragon as the enemy; wraps for lunch; afternoon tea; missed phone call from Ellie (by the way Lisa Stapleton was at church, home from Canada for a week with some Canadian friends who I think you had met) and then soon we're off to our Chinese adopted children, Sam and Selina for Chinese hotpot. What else could I hope for....I'm very proud of all of our children. Thanks for the gifts......jewellery holder from Anisia and Carcassonne from Rikki....great gifts....puppet from Kevin which I was eying off in Kuranda and he secretly went off and bought. Very sneaky.....a therapy tool! Thanks everyone for all of your love.
