Happy Mother's Day!

Loved Beyond Measure...........

 This was our theme for our luncheon today.  God loves us - that is why He gave us our Mom's and the other significant women in our lives.  It is true, you cannot measure God's love.  It is without boundaries, unconditional, endless.  God made us females with tender hearts that wrap around our children in a similar way. 

 I wanted to share some pictures of our luncheon. Several of our ladies set and decorated the tables for us.  They looked great!  Some of our fabulous men served us - it was so nice!  And I will give you the recipes of the salads we ate today!  Enjoy!






Those were our tables - thank you to Carol, Melissa , Ashley, Barbara, Sue, and Joan!  You helped make it such a fun event!


Our guys were so good to us!  They served and cleaned up.  So nice.  Thank you, Hank, Bill, Jeff, Jim, Keith, Donnie, Dannie, Gene, and Mark!  

 We had a salad plate with a variety of salads.  We also had a cheese spread with crackers that was tasty.

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him!  I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday.  And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots.  It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...
