Mother's Day - First Sunday of May母亲节 - 五月的第一个星期天


                                             This is what we had for mother's day dinner. 



                                        A card that I made for friends to celebrate mother's day.

It was suppose to be posted on mother's day. I was busy doing something else and so this is a late hand up. As the saying goes, better late than never. My two sons are chefs, so on mother's day they said it's too much a hassle to go out for dinner. They gave me some money and that is what we have for dinner on mother's day. Half of the dishes were store bought and half were cooked by me. My friend complain about me cooking the dinner, it doesn't matter who cooked dinner on that day. The most important thing is that the person who cooked it is happy to do it. I don't mind doing it because that day was my sons day off and it's a bit much if they have to cook on that day too because they are always cooking for someone else almost everyday.
