Proud as a Peacock

Last night I ate at the restaurant where my oldest son works.

He has been working there for many months now,

so we decided to surprise him by stopping in for dinner.

Imagine how proud I was when his coworkers and

the owner of the establishment came over, 

introduced themselves, and told me what a wonderful

person and hard worker he was.

They all said, "We all love him around here!"

Yes, I was as proud as this peacock when I heard that!

As a mother, you only hope that your children will 

grow up to be hard working, smart, kind souls

and when you see that coming to fruition in your kids,

it makes a mother proud.

More Than Different

Thought I would share this rare bird with you so it could

brighten your day as it did mine.

I had the privilege of seeing this beautiful creature

at the Plumpton Park Zoo on Mother's Day and I was 

fascinated with how regal and detailed the albino peacock

is despite its lack of color.

I do have to say, though, that peacocks are much more fun

to look at then to HEAR.

They have quite the annoying squawk!

Have a beautiful and rare day.
