A little over a week ago, I began racking my brain over what I could get my Mom on Mother&#8217;s Day.  She is so difficult to buy for, she doesn&#8217;t like Jewelry or perfumes and her tastes are very specific otherwise.  A gift certificate would seem like I didn&#8217;t even try and I wasn&#8217;t even going to try to pick any clothing out for her.<\/p>\n<p>An idea finally hit me and I wrote my Sister an email asking if she would be game for a Mother&#8217;s Day BBQ.  After a little back and fourth we decided that Saturday the 13th would actually fit better into everyone&#8217;s plans and the weather forecast for that day looked more appealing as well.  <\/p>\n<p>Everyone converged on my house yesterday afternoon and all in all, things went down very well.  My Sister&#8217;s Hubby (Artie) was appointed &#8220;Grill-Master&#8221;, the boys did some swimming until their lips turned purple and teeth began to chatter and I gave A.T.V. rides up the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few pix of the occasion&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday2.jpg\"target=_blank>Artie proudly displays the contents of the grill.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday3.jpg\"target=_blank>The dinner table adorned with a dozen red roses which my Mother brought for Wendy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday4.jpg\"target=_blank>My Sister and her Husband.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday5.jpg\"target=_blank>Artie teaches the way of the Grill to Timothy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday6.jpg\"target=_blank>The pool is open for business.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday7.jpg\"target=_blank>Mark by the pool.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday8.jpg\"target=_blank>Erick &#038; Timothy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mshepherd.com\/images\/momday9.jpg\"target=_blank>Tim trying to warm up.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Mother&#8217;s Day to all the Moms out there!
