Yesterday was Claire's first birthday!! But more on that later. We're putting off the birthday party for two weeks, because Dan had to work yesterday, and Ray and Kathy couldn't come to visit either. So yesterday was a bit more about Mother's Day. Claire made sure I got off to a good start by waking up at 11pm and staying up for two hours. She's getting her molars already, and has been fussing a lot the last week or two. Then we all had to get up at 7:30 for Dan to get off to work. He's worked about 75 hours this week in preparation for Mother's Day and local college graduations. And the coming week will be the same with two more graduations next weekend. So Mother's Day morning was the same old same old of doing dishes, laundry and cleaning. That's actually to my liking. Don't give me flowers or jewelry, although sleeping in would have been nice. (But I got to do that today, so all's good.)
Dan's parents came over for a Mom's day lunch. Janet brought some flowers to cheer up our yard a bit. Nathan made this for Grandma to put in her garden. (The tin is temporary.)
And I made this to eat.
So that was fun and Martha Stewarty.

Mmmm. What's that delectable treat? Recipe please.
I do things simply. It's a chocolate sponge cake baked in a flower shaped cake pan. I pulled the reciped off the internet somewhere, but didn't like the flavor too much. Joy of Cooking would have probably been better. And then drizzled melted apple jelly over the fruit. Voila!
