Mother's day Saturday with "mom"

A few years ago, mom and I started a tradition of going out on the 

Saturday of Mother's day weekend to get flowers for our homes,

and just hang out together.

I always have mom pick one out from me.

She picked out a beautiful hanging basket!

This is our 2nd time going to Donahue's in Fairbault, MN

I love, love love this place!

 If you've never been to Donahue's...it's worth the trip over, the selection is amazing

 and the prices beat any of the nursery's in Rochester (even with a coupon)

 The back of my van full of flowers.... there's more up front  :)

It was too early for lunch so we swung into GOP Lutheran church (just outside of Kenyon) 

My mom has a relative buried there. 

A beautiful little church (with a steeple of course)

I love the old churches with their own cemeteries. 

This little bench was tucked away at the edge of the cemetery almost hidden in the tall grass.

I wonder how many have sat on that bench, remembering their loved ones?

Since we were passing through Kenyon we stopped at the nursing home

 to give a quick visit to my mom's cousin. 

She was glad to see us, It was nice to meet her  :)

Then it was on to Kasson, were we had lunch at Daniels Resturaunt

It was scrumptious! 

It was a beautiful day to spend with my mom

Thanks for hanging out with me mom.... I'm pretty lucky to have you!
