Day 3 of May

A day is only a day; it's what you make of it.  That's my new "motto". 
Last week was Cinco de Mayo, and yet we are going to be celebrating tonight.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day and yet we celebrated it today as I'll still be in Banff tomorrow.

And what a lovely Mother's Day it was.  I was awake at 6:00 a.m. and heard Ashley's alarm go off.  She came upstairs and I asked her why she was up so early.  They (Ashley, Patrick and Ethan) were going to make me breakfast and she knew I like to eat early.  It was a wonderful breakfast - fresh fruit cut up; pancakes (which is what I asked for) made with whole wheat flour; an omelet (made with egg whites) with every type of veggie in it; and my signature glass of milk.  The kids also cleaned up the kitchen mess (they must take after their mother when they cook.)  After breakfast was cleaned up, we played a new IPad game.  It's called Heads Up.  I heard about this game from the Ellen Degeneres show.  It is like Password and all those other category games, but you use the IPad as your game board.  I also received the two cd's I really wanted - Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake (we'll will be rockin' on the drive to Banff)  What a wonderful  "Mother's Day."
  I also spoke to my Mom on the phone and wished her an early Mother's Day.  Because I'll be out of town, we have made out Mother's Day lunch date for Wednesday.
 
  Last night we had the opportunity to take in Cirque du Soleil , Amaluna.  We had been given tickets for Christmas.  What an amazing show.

If you get a chance to see this show..... thanks to Bruce and Dianne for the show and the company.  With front row seats it was inevitable that both Bill and Bruce would get chosen for some type of participation.
