What a peaceful, splendid mother’s day. Our family talked on the phone with my son who is serving a mission in Sweden. Mothers need those phone calls. I took a nap and slept peacefully afterwards. Love that boy! My second son and daughter-in-law came out Saturday and helped me move this-and-that. We also took down two trees (sad) including the one that had died after the great storm last December.
