We interred Mom this morning out at Glendale Cemetary. It had stopped raining earlier in the morning and by the time we got to the cemetary, the sun was shining and all the flowers were in bloom. My brother, his best friend Craig, my sister and the kids, my Aunt Susie and Uncle Jim and Fred, Connor and I were there to see her enter her final resting place.



We laid a bouquet of her favorite flowers at the base of the columnbarium she is in. There were roses, lilacs, carnations, daisies and spring flowers. Tomorrow I will plant the new flowering plum tree in my backyard in honor of her and I on Mother's Day.

The boys decided to give me my mother's present today so that I could play with it this weekend.



It's a Epson Stylus Photo RX595 Photo printer, scanner, copier. I was getting tired of running up and down the stairs every time I printed something and printers are getting really really reasonable for a decent one. I thought about a wide format for about a minute, but then decided I really didn't need it. If and when I do print out my digital layouts, I will print them in 8x8 so I can use regular 8 1/2 X 11 photo paper (much more economical).

I've printed a couple of 4x6 photos on it and I'm pleased with the results and I've scanned something too with success. Overall I've very pleased with it, especially the cost. I really didn't want anything super expensive this year.

Tomorrow I go for my pedicure and my boys are treating me to dinner. Still don't know where....had French Toast this morning for breakfast, so the IHOP idea is out.

We'll see.......
