Mother's Day

Since my mom had knee surgery last week (she's fine), we decided to postpone our larger Mother's Day celebration for a week, but I still got to have my Mother's Day.

Presents:

Cards:

At church, a rose and a special performance on the hammer dulcimer in honor of all the moms:

Control of the TV remote in the afternoon (Deep Space Nine!):

Finished off with a lovely dinner at my favorite restaurant:

Yeahhhh, I've got a great life.

Forced Home Improvement

Saturday morning, a little dog got off-leash during a walk and came exploring up on our porch. Jenna was highly offended by this and made her feelings known:

So, thanks to Jenna, we had to get new window coverings for the living room. We couldn't find blinds we both like (especially since Jenna was likely to mess up *any* sort of blinds), so we went with curtains.

Really changes the look of the room, nu? Thing Two says it looks "more grown-up", though for the room to look truly grown-up, we'd probably have to get a real couch instead of a futon.
