Another Mother's Day is here, take the time to celebrate with your's.  I am so lucky to still have mine, and living close by to  boot.  But, I have plenty of friends who don't have theirs anymore.

Our snow is finally melted away and the grass is beginning to green up.  It'll be time to fire up the sprinkler system before long.

Any of you Oregonians, or even those in southeastern Washington and western Idaho who don't have plans yet for Memorial Day weekend might think about taking a day trip to Sumpter, Oregon and taking in the huge flea market.  It runs Saturday through Monday (although a few vendors are open on Thursday and a few more on Friday) and is WELL worth the time to stop by if you're looking for anything vintage and unusual.  They barter with you and thre is everything from true junk to wonderful antiques, handmade crafts, handmade soaps and lotions and most anything else you can think of.

I'm off to start preparations for dinner for my Mom (deep fried turkey).  Have a nice day, hope your weather is nice and you enjoy a wonderful Sunday.
