Today was a great Mother's Day. All of my children and grandchildren with the exception of Matthew ate Sunday dinner at our house. We had a great day at church and Sunday night we celebrated our graduates with a (cold) picnic after church.
Tomorrow Jerry and I leave for an extended vacation with our destination being Colorado. This will be the very first time we have ever traveled without having a deadline to be back. As of April 30th, I no longer have to get up to an alarm clock. Wow is that ever great! Retirement is wonderful. I will try to post updates about our vacation, so please stop by to follow our adventures.
Here are a few pictures that were taken today.
