6:00 a.m. – Got out of bed. 
7:30 a.m. – Len (my husband) and I loaded the cherries into his truck from our cooler. (Not our cherries – they aren’t ripe, yet. These are the first crop – from Lodi).
8:00 a.m. – We went to the strawberry fields and picked up some strawberries.
8:15 a.m. – We took it all to our new fruit stand on Hwy 152 in Gilroy. Len’s brother met us there and I helped him set up the stand and showed him how to run it.
8:45 a.m. – We went home and got ready for church.
10:00 a.m. – My family and I went to church. We usually have church at 1:00 p.m., but since it was Mother’s Day, the service was earlier. We had an awesome time at church! Pastor Hurst preached a beautiful sermon titled, “A Mother’s Part and God’s Part”. He preached: if us mother’s would do our, to the best of our ability, to raise our children in the fear of God, then God would do His part and make sure they were saved. (Paraphrased).
12:30 p.m. – We went home, changed clothes and tidied up the house.
1:30 p.m. – Len and I went to Starbuck’s, then to our fruit stand to work. His brother left.
1:30 – 7:00 p.m. – My husband and I sold fruit then closed down.
7:45 p.m. – My family and I went to eat dinner at Westside Grill in Gilroy. We had a nice, relaxing, fun time together.
After dinner, we went to Baskin-Robbins and got some ice cream for dessert! 
I had a scoop of Heath Bar and a scoop of York Peppermint Patty. It was yuuuuuuumy!!!
9:15 p.m. – We took our ice cream next door to the Nob Hill Grocery store and got some groceries as we ate. Kyle was being his usual silly, funny self and had us all cracking up. It was so much fun!
10:00 p.m. – Finally got home, put groceries away, blogged a little and now I’m going to bed.
Sigh…what a wonderful Mother’s Day. It was very different and I’m very tired, but I’m happy.
God is awesome and I love Him. I thank Him for this wonderful day. I thank Him for a wonderful touch of His Spirit in church. I thank Him for the precious relationship I have with my family. I thank Him that we have such a great time together.
I thank Him for making me a mother of the two most awesome boys in the world!
I hope all you mothers had a wonderful day, too. May God bless you.
No photos of today. I didn’t have my camera with me.

What did you do in your spare time? (sigh). You are one energetic person, and always have been. That’s good though. And, Happy Mother’s Day!
BTW, Happy Belated Birthday! A “birdie” on another blog informed me of your special day. Hope it was filled with all the things that make you happy.
Sis. Hopper, I hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day, too. You, for sure, deserve it!
Thanks for the birthday wish. I went to The Melting Pot with my hubby and some dear friends. Have you every been there?! It was so much fun! You gotta try it! It’s fondue eating. We were there for three hours! Ha!
Have a great Tuesday! Love you!

You were one busy little mama. Girl, sometimes you just need to slow down. LOL I love your energy.
Well, let me tell you. Twenty years ago, I wouldn’t believe it if you told me I’d be a farmer! Or, running fruit stands! Sigh…:) It’s okay, though. God is blessing us. The more we work, the more we can give to God’s kingdom, financially. And, that makes us happy.
But, we won’t be doing this forever. In a few more years when our boys are gone, we’ll sell and retire. That’s the plan, if God wills.
I’m slowing down today! I slept in ’til 8:00 and I’m just going to do house stuff and errands.
Love you!
