Mother's Day & Diez de Mayo

Happy Mother's Day!
Hope it was a wonderful day at your house and that everybody (husbands, kids, dogs, cats, etc.) treated you right.
I enjoyed a really nice Mother's Day in our new house, combined with our 13th annual Cinco de Mayo party the night before (Diez de Mayo) with the very diverse group of friends we have accumulated over our 14 years in Atlanta (the family you choose is the annual toast). We missed and celebrated our friend, Jim, who died last year in June after our last Cinco de Mayo all together.
We celebrated new life, with a new baby born April 14th (to friends, not me!) -- quite the party girl, for one so young! We celebrated a birthday (Happy Birthday, Paul!); our housewarming; a bon voyage (hubby's parents off on an extended RV tour across country); new friends and exciting news and accomplishments: I am so happy to have met Jill Fink in David Fulmer's Fiction Shop -- she may well be one of the most talented authors (as yet unpublished) I know, so remember that name and check out her blog, because someday we'll be able to say we knew her when...
Jill had a very good meeting -- really good! -- with a literary agent Saturday at the Atlanta Writer's Club Conference, and there is much to be excited about. And she brought me a Mother's Day gift bag of all kinds of body goodies from her Purple Monkey Soap Company - Natural soaps, lotions and other body products: Pink Pomegranate Sugar Scrub; Bodacious Body Butter; Top Shelf Margarita Sugar Scrub; Cooks and Gardeners Soap Bar (takes away the onion smell when you're cooking!); and testers: Foot Fetish Extreme Creme and Bug Balm. This all in addition to the incredibly-yummy "Monkey Sunshine Lip Balm" she gave me when I oh-so-graciously gave Joshilyn Jackson the Vanilla Sugar Scrub Jill had given me at our big dinner with Joshilyn in April...(sorry I got distracted there, looking through my goodie bag again -- I'm so excited, I have to go try some of this great stuff!!)
Diez de Mayo was a perfect night (except we all neglected to take any pictures!) and led into a perfect Mother's Day -- at home, in my pajamas all day, doing laundry, cleaning up, still unpacking boxes -- nevertheless, a Perfect Day.
