This morning Mary Ann gave me a complete run down on the beaches of Southern California between Santa Barbara and Carpinteria with a focus on Summerland. Exhibits were included to reinforce my learning.
I then began preparations on breakfast. Baked eggs florentine to be specific. Sister was quite unconvinced that they would suit her because of the spinach, but realized the error of her ways after the first bite.
Here is the recipe in case you also have someone in your family who thinks they don't love spinach. After breakfast we headed over to see Angie. She was tickled pink to see Mary Ann. "Is that Mary Ann? Mary Ann Moss?!!!"
Afternoon activities included power naps and a cut-throat "pease porridge hot" competition.
You girls have a great mom and your love for her is so evident.

After a lifetime together how can your sister doubt anything you place before her? I don't really know you, but I would gladly gobble up any morsel served by you, or Chris. It kinda helps you have a kind face.

Ah, picture number four, safety, love, comfort, joy, encouragement, a lifetime of memories all stored in those two little hands.
Beautiful.

Cherished moments, delightful to provide Momma Moss with these sweet treats. This is the true spirit of Thanksgiving and why it's my most favorite holiday. No gifts required, just bring love and share the blessings.
So glad you're all together with your mother. You'll look back on these times with fondness and will smile.
