2026 Mother's Day Reflections

My kids always make Mother's Day special.  After church Steve made dinner reservations at a new Italian restaurant none of us had ever been to before -  Verona's located in Cambria Hotal in Shelby Twp.  There were several buffets to choose from:  breakfast, pizza, appetizer, Italian and dessert.  The food was amazing.

Hubby and I arrived the same time as our daughter and son-in-law so a picture was taken of Lori and me.

It was a difficult day for daughter-in-law, Sharon, since it was less than a month since her mother passed away.  It wasn't planned, but there was one empty chair at our table and Steve said that was meant to be in honor of Sheena.  Sharon gave me a thoughtful box of decorated cookies from Cookies & Cupcakes by Design.  They were SO good with hot tea.

After we finished eating we had a group picture taken in front of the Mother's Day sign.

I hope you were treated special on Mother's Day.  While I received money, gift card and flowers, the best gift was my three wonderful children who made me a mother!

This week happens to be our son-in-law's birthday so on Monday I baked him a carrot cake [his favorite] and delivered it on Tuesday.
