Jo's Happy Mother's Day

We couldn't have asked for a prettier day.

I really do think Chris missed his calling. He is a wonderful cook.

I had never eaten grilled pineapple before. I love pineapple any way, but straight off of the grill is a whole new taste treat.


Chris also prepared pork loin with his own blend of spices as a rub before they went on the grill. The grilled new potatoes were mixed with red, yellow and green bell peppers and chopped onions and cooked with a dab of olive oil.

I have learned that when there is cooking going on the best place to be is standing close to the cook and you will most likely be asked to sample something. Melody was upstairs in the kitchen cooking up some delicious mac and cheese and a wonderful green salad. It can wear a person out running from one cook to the other for those samples.

Sweet little Seth pretty much tuckered out. He had a busy day entertaining company and didn't get his afternoon nap. Wow.... I will go ahead and admit it now, I feel like such a bad G'ma right now. After I posted all of these pictures, I realized that I didn't get any pictures of Riley. In my defense though, you have to be quick if you want to get his picture, because he is always on the go and a very busy little guy. I did get him to sit with me for a little bit yesterday and look at the clouds. Tuesday evening is Riley's end of school program and his preschool graduation, We will get lots of pictures of Riley then to make up for not taking any of him for this posting. The kids got us (this was a joint mother's /father's day gift) a pond with a fountain for the yard since we don't have a water feature in any of the gardens. I will take some pictures when we decide where we want it and get it together and working.


Wishing you a blessed day. ~Jo
