lunch for the mothers

My girlfriend confessed:  When my husband asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day, where I would like to dine,  my one-and-only answer was American-style steak and baked potatoes at home -- potatoes slathered in sour cream & butter  and topped with chives.  A steady diet of grains & greens will do that to a woman.  I am quite certain that everyone present for this Mother's Day Lunch was thankful for her choice.

It was as good as it looks.  All of it.   Is it lame to post about Mother's Day and not include pictures of children or mothers?  They were there, too, I promise.  I just didn't take a picture of one single person.  In fact, besides these 4 shots the only other I managed was a shot of a chair hammock in the trees.

Don't you wish you were there now?


I hope your day was grand.
