On Mother's Day, I had special permission to sleep in. As it turned out, I wasn't that sleepy but at least I got to be lazy and just lie in bed, reading magazines.

That's when the sous-chef peeked in, taking my order for breakfast, then fast scurrying downstairs to assist the executive chef.

Some more reading, maybe a little shut-eye... and here comes the tray.

And then, a line-up of kids with presents.

Even though all this was really sweet and we had a great time opening presents, sharing my breakfast and water melon for dessert, the best was yet to come.

I got a message from the real estate agent. There was an offer on our house, too good to pass up.

The house is sold.
