Frith O’Steen

Well, I’d like to say that nothing could rain on my parade this Mother’s Day, but the weather had other plans. It was still really fun though! I got to sleep in until 8 am, Decker took a nice long nap himself later that morning so I got to enjoy the Sunday paper and do the crossword at my leisure, and then that afternoon we thought we saw a possible break in the clouds, so we bundled up and headed over to Tilden for a walk in the hills. It was really wet by the time we got back in the car, but it was a good time all the same! Decker’s favorite part (and mine too) was when we stopped to change him and then let him run around in this grove of trees along the trail. He was oblivious to the elements, and having a great adventure feeling all the trees and looking around on the ground! Afterwards, we had dinner at my folks’ house so I could celebrate with my mom, and the traditional Mother’s Day meal of steak and strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert was sinfully good as always. Gotta love holiday meals!
