Mothers Day 2026

Before my devices stopped cooperating, again, I managed to transfer my Mothers Day photos from my iPhone to my MacBook. Since it was a lovely day and it's what I have, here we go.

First, we (DH, DS, and me) met Rick's mom, step-father, and his oldest daughter at a restaurant in town for a delicious breakfast.
Lemon crepes, which I split with Brian
Veggie hash, with Brian shared with me
Then all but step-sister, who had to work, drove to Portland to take in the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens, always a beautiful destination. And the enjoyment started before we even entered. We parked, I looked up, and there was a bald eagle over Portland! There were lovely flowers along our route to the entrance as well.
I'm sure I've shared photos from past years' visits to Crystal Springs. But since I don't think it is possible to take the same photos every time, perhaps you'll enjoy the following regardless.







For scale, my guys are both well over 6' tall
That's what I've got for now from . . .

I’m in Salem and must know where your amazing breakfast was from. I enjoy reading your blog and always wonder if we ever cross paths at state fair. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
