Kick the Bucket Bash

I have had the most amazing week with my Momma.

She was fun to hang out with, fun to talk to, fun to get to see again, and best of all, she said I did a good job planning her vaca. 

There are a few things that did not go as planned but they were so minor, it was no big deal at all.

I will be doing more on this at a later date, but she did inspire me to do something that has been in the back of my mind for some time.

As everyone knows, I live in San Antonio, TX.  It is a place rich with history, historical landmarks and buildings, amazing architecture, and just when you least expect it, a piece of art work will pop up out of no where and surprise you.

I am going to start a 2nd blog or just post to this one, and call it Sights of San Antonio.  I am going to spend at least one ay a month exploring a new to me part of the city.  I am going to give you the highlights and lowlights of the area and let you decide on your own if it is worth visiting.

If you have a special area in San Antonio that you would like me to visit, please, ask me, and I will make it happen for you.  I will give some of the usual known tour guide book stuff, but I will strive to find the hidden secret in each place that makes it a special place to visit.

Baking Spree

This week has been an interesting week. 
Will leave it at that.

But on the other side of this coin, I got some much needed detailed cleaning done in my own home. 

I have banana bread baking in the oven, Paul is sleeping in.  He needs the rest, so I am doing quiet cleaning. I have my kitchen 90% done (just waiting for the dishes in the dishwasher to dry so they can be put away).

I have a few more dishes to do, then I am going to start inventory of what is in the pantry.  I need to get it cleaned and sorted before My Mom comes out for a visit.

I know there is several times in my life I have disapointed my Mom.  Just things a daughter does, regardless of how old we get.

My mom, has my entire life, joked (?????) that by the time she was 63 she was going to kick the bucket.  Well, her 63rd birthday has come and gone.  She is still here. Thank the God or Godess of your choice for that.

I deciced that I am going to bring to her San Antonio for a week to celebrate.  I have not seen her in 5 years.  Yep, I am scared for her to come visit. 

Will my apartment be good enough for her?  Will She have a good time?  Will I be able to give her enough to do with out tiring her out?  Will she be bored?  Will she tell me she is having a good time when she really isn't?

How long will it be before I get to see her again? Will I get to see her again?  Longevity is not a blessing in our family?

Will she approve of my Mate, My Best Friend, and my chosen partner? 

There is so many unknowns with this visit.  All I can do is the best I can do, and hope it meets her approval.

I love Mom.  I am glad I will be getting to see her.  I am also scared to see her.  But I suppose any one is scared to have the Parental Unit come visit when the relationship has been strained at best.

Just pray this is a good visit, and things turn out for the best.
