After some rain, cool temps descended on Cincinnati for Mother’s Day weekend. For us, we weren’t rushing around this weekend, which included time on the ballroom floor, evening at home for a movie (Contagion) and some good wine, our last Sunday morning handbell piece before summer break, and hosting my in-laws on Sunday while watching golf’s The Players Championship.
Enough of my weekend, how was yours?
I’m going to use chocolate as a theme to start your week. First of all, our church wine group’s next event has a theme of chocolate and wine. With that in mind, here is the memorable scene from I Love Lucy involving chocolates. Have a good week.

Excellent weekend except for mother (Lori as in wife) being 800 miles away. So had Mother’s Day dinner with oldest son and no mom.

I had a very busy weekend helping a friend relocating from Boston find an apartment in NYC. She needs to move in by June 1 to coincide with starting a new job. We both power searched online, she sent out an avalanche of emails and set up several appointments. Then she drove down here this morning. We checked out several places and actually found it. I feel wiped out. I can use a weekend.
