We raised our children together, so shouldn't we be together on Mother's Day? The three members of the AMA Division of BVG (for abandoned mothers) spent the afternoon and evening together, husbands included. Meanwhile, Elletu was being wined and dined (and candied and flowered) by her daughters and grandchildren. She is fortunate in that two out of three of her children live very close to her, and by the way, they all love to be with her. She even has more celebrating coming up with one of her daughters next weekend. As for our Mother's Day, the six of us hung out at j's house, enjoying the beauty of her backyard for a few hours before driving to Tacoma's Ruston Way waterfront to eat dinner at the Ram, where they do not accept reservations. I do believe we waited nearly two hours for a table, and once seated, it was another good hour before dinner was served. It didn't seem to faze us or the guys, who, by the way, all get along famously and enjoy their own conversations. Something like 33 years ago we were getting babysitters and gathering together once a week for a couples' Bible study through Christian Women's Club. We didn't need to get babysitters yesterday, and we won't this Wednesday night when we all get together at our house for dinner before we watch this season's American Idol Finale. Cool, j and I are excited. My hubby and Cool's hubby are looking forward to it. I sense that j's husband is not that enthralled with American Idol. Let's just say he's 'not a fan.' Let's hope he gets with the program before Wednesday night, because otherwise he's going to stick out like a Cougar in the middle of a Husky pep rally!
