Sunday was Mother's Day but my nights off this week were Tuesday and Wednesday so yesterday I took Mom to lunch. I'm not paid to endorse any restaurant so I won't mention where we went. All I'll say is I got a chicken fried steak w/ gravy & loaded baked spud. Mom got chicken tenders w/ loaded spud, steamed broccoli & cheese sauce. We were both as full as ticks when we left, all for around $21.00 including the tip. Mom had enough left to fill a take home box for another full meal.
We spent time together walking around in her back yard w/ her toy Poodle, Gracie. I refer to the wee heathen as my baby sister. She (Gracie) actually licked my fingers about a dozen times even before Mom & I went to eat so it wasn't just gravy she wanted.
Mom has a satsuma tree in her back yard loaded w/ fruit from about BB to marble size. Her Meyer lemon isn't doing much other than leaves and mighty thorns! I'm trying to learn a little about canning and her fig tree is looking like it'll have enough fruit to fill a couple quart Mason jars when we get sick of eating fresh. I see orange marmalade in the grocery so I may try putting up a jar or 3 of satsuma marm.
