I had a nice visit with my mom yesterday. It turns out she had a doctor appointment here in Charleston so we met for dinner. I had been wondering how I was going to see her for her birthday and mother's day with the price of gas being so high - now I don't have to worry about it.
She said she is going to see my sister for Mother's Day. I could get into her playing favorites but I won't go there.
I bought her her favorite bearclaws from her favorite doughnut shop and took them to her with various gifts that I thought she might appreciate. I tried to pay for dinner (and I did) but when I went to the restroom she slipped $20 into my wallet, so there went that idea. We went to Ryan's Buffet (which I HATE) but she loves it and it was her day so I shlepped through the dried out food and the empty trays and the crying cashier 
It was nice.
Earlier in the day Eddie and I went to watch the elephants eat a buffet at the mall. They ended up putting in an appearance over an hour late. I was so tired that I had to go sit down right before the elephants got there and I missed part of the fun. LIke one man said, "if you've seen one elephant eat a carrot you've seen them all."
I was sooo tired that I had to rest twice just to get back to my truck. Fortunately I had time to rest before I met my mom so she was none the wiser. She has no desire to hear what actually goes on in my life, she just wants to know the good stuff - so that is what I tell her.
