Mother’s Day Sights

My mom opening her gifts……

StepDad’s scrumptious carrot cake……

A painting of Long’s Peak and Bear Lake in Colorado hanging on the wall next to the dining room table……

(This next photo from yesterday’s post was taken from the same Bear Lake vantage point as depicted in the painting…..Long’s Peak is in the background.)

This knobby yellow glass vase sitting on Mom and StepDad’s kitchen counter: When I was a kid, this fascinating vase occupied various spots in our house…..sometimes on the TV, or on the piano, or on a window sill. The sight of it tugs my thoughts backwards in time……

Mom and StepDad have travelled to Europe several times. On one of those trips they ordered this hand-carved cuckoo clock from The Black Forest in Germany:

While in Russia, they acquired this set of "Matryoshka" nesting dolls. The word Matryoshka comes from the Latin word mater which means "mother". (Thank you to reader rhymeswithplague for that link!)

Over their sofa hangs this painting…….the scene possibly from Switzerland:

On the way home we stopped to see my niece’s pride and joy……five grandkitties of our very own Miss Kitty (mother of the two kittens we currently have). They were a fitting sight to be seen on Mother’s Day, too. Their mother’s name is Sanders.

Have a great day!
