Happy Valentine's Day!

Mom's Valentine's Day started Friday evening at Ted's Montana Grill. Cyndi and Chuck had sent a Valentine card with cash for us to take Mom out for dinner. Since Phil was out of town and Ellen was in town, Ellen and I escorted Mom to Ted's Montana Grill on Chuck and Cyndi. The manager at Ted's, (Andy) treated Mom like royalty and even gave us a quick entrance and exit through the back door closest to handicapped parking. Thank you Ted's! (I didn't take a picture!)

Saturday morning, on Valentine's Day, Ellen accepted Mom's invitation for a visit at her apartment at Summer Trace. (I went in the other room to work on burning a CD of pictures for Ellen on my laptop so Mom could have Ellen's undivided attention, which she enjoyed!) I took these photos when it was time for Ellen to head home.


Mom had Ellen's book, Thread Magic, and the Indy Quilter's Guild newsletter and her gift from Ellen out on her table and ready to share with friends!

(Here's a better picture of the piece that Mom chose yesterday.)

Saying good-bye to Ellen was tough for Mom. Ellen promised to return later this year with one of her greyhounds.

The roses Ellen brought for Mom Thursday night are opening in her kitchen.

And the pretty Valentine Azalea plant Gail and Bill sent looks pretty in the living room window.
