Mothers Day

It was sort of a quiet Mothers Day Sunday around here. Which is fine with me! We will do dinner with my mom next week because of schedules and such. I was to STAY in bed. My dd loves to make something and serve it to me in bed! No problem with that!! lol Then I came down and they ate and I had a little something with them too. Later we went to Long John Silvers!! YUM. I dont get to go there very often, so that was cool. On the way was the interesting part though. I was driving and started wondering where in the world ALL these people came from?! And WHAT were they doing there? I forgot.....The Make a Wish foundation Mothers day TRUCK run!! I have heard about it for years and the local country station is usually around some where too, but I have never saw it. I am not saying its not important or a big thing, but I never really wanted to go see it. Its trucks, big deal, right? WELL, let me tell you something....It WAS a BIG deal!!!! I could NOT imagine all the people there to support it and ALL the trucks that were there too. WOW!!!!! I have no idea if this is done in other places/states, but if it is, you should go if you never have. So, here I am driving down one side of our highway, and ALLLLLL these people are everywhere.....bridges, both sides and in the middle too!!! Im sure there was over a 100 trucks, maybe more. Fire trucks, big trucks, double trucks, Even garbage trucks! With lights and sirens and everyone was waving them on!!!! How cool is that? VERY COOL. I must be getting old or something, it even brought tears to my eyes. Just that that many people (watching and truckers) would be there.
The other part of our big day.....we went to Lowe's to look at new stoves and dish washers! lol Boy, some new stuff is built pretty crappy! We need to keep looking though!!! We are working on furniture and this stuff. Its time to spend some money we don't really have, but need to spend on this stuff. Ya Know?
