When we were young, Alison and I always wanted to surprise Mom with breakfast in bed. Mom hated eating in bed but we didn’t know that in those days.
She had to know what we were planning as we got the refrigerator rolls, cinnamon and orange. Made eggs and bacon and poured juice and were good to go.
Mom would get up on Mother’s day or her birthday and eat at the table. Oh well, we tried but she didn’t appreciate it.
Now Jim and I eat breakfast in bed on weekends. OK, I have to get up and make breakfast first. Then we break Mom’s second cardinal rule – we go to the movies on a sunny afternoon. I’ve had people tell me they were calling Mom when sister Lisa and I ducked out to see a flick!
Good night, now. We’re both taking Zoe out for her final walk of the day. Dee
