Mother's Day 2009

And this is where the blog goes a little whack because I'm about to take you back in time to Mother's Day!

This year Danny and I took our mother's on the Swiss Avenue Tour of Homes. Apparently Mother's Day would be canceled if they didn't have the tour. So, being the good Dallasites that we are - we decided to see what all the hoopla was about.

There were eight homes on the tour, and in 5-6 hours we saw five of them.
There were free, air-conditioned trolleys to take you from home to home if they were too far apart to walk.
And each home had tour guides stationed in various rooms to enlighten you as to the history of each landmark.
There was a little Swiss Avenue Parade that we missed while checking out the new remodeling, the old decorations, and the exquisite gardens.
Each of us had a different favorite, and we enjoyed comparing notes and opinions as we walked.
We wrapped up with lunch at our apartment and rested our weary feet while eating chicken salad sandwiches, fruit and sweet tea.
Happy Mother's Day Moms! We love you and are so glad we had the privilege of spending the day with you and viewing the little intricacies that are in our backyard!
