Retirement: reading the directions for a new camera in the sunroom with the windows open and the delicate aroma of the irises coming in on the breeze. What could be better? A Sudoku puzzle!
The rain has been pretty brutal to the peonies. It's hard to believe we are about and inch and a half below the average amount of rain for this time of year!
We decided to leave home a little early to meet the children and their parents at the Conference Center at General Butler State Park for the Mother's Day buffet. As we exited the freeway, what did we see? A sign that said, "Tractor Show"! So, of course, we had to check it out.
The Pioneer Power Club had quite the display. 
After a very nice buffet, including some very nice desserts, we drove to the playground where the children could ride their bikes. 
Noah riding his bike; K.K., wearing her 'sparkly' John Deere T-shirt, holding a toad. The toad, as it turned out, was a real attention getter from most of the children hanging out at the park!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers!
