Mother's Day. The time of year when you remember she who bore you and fed you and loved you and smacked you when you needed it (at her discretion). Thanks, Mom.
It was a good day. Cards from brother and his lady, and my nephew, red roses from hubby, a beautiful cotton blouse from sis and, from my incredible niece, powdered tea and chasen. In case you don't know, a chasen is a bamboo whisk that is used to make frothy tea. It would take her to get me something so utterly unique and surprising. We both share an interest in things Asian, especially Japanese. Maybe one day we'll be guests at a tea ceremony?
