A Special Mother's Day with Family and a Bunch of Pirates

By
Real Estate Agent

I hope all you mothers out there had an especially joyful Mother's Day.  I spent yesterday morning with my son and his wife, along with one of my daughters and a granddaughter. We attended the fun packed Strawberry Festival in nearby Roseville.  I hadn't realized the event would have a pirate theme, and it was such a joyful surprise to have dozens and dozens of  pirates present when we went through the gates.  Here in our city, we have our own raucous Pirates of Sacramento group, but pirate groups from as far away as Reno, Nevada were also present.  In addition to jousting, and other medieval sports, there was a petting zoo, Where I spent special time petting Morticia, a super soft Taranchula. 

There were also cooking demonstrations, and many pirate themed vendors selling their wares.

 

After leaving the event, we returned home, were we enjoyed Fresh Fried Fish, Rigatoni, Fresh Strawberries, Watermelon, and Chocolate Cake.  And, there was a wonderful nap, afterward!

Myrl, your Mother's Day was just filled with lots of fun and interesting things... your Mother's Day Menu sounded delicious and the nap after, perfect.  Happy for you that you had a wonderful Mother's Day.

You must be psychic, Alexandra.  It was my son's idea to go.  He had three free tickets.  However, when we got there, Veterans like my son got in free, and Seniors were only $5.00.  So all 5 of us got in for only $5.00 total.  What a deal!

HI Myrl Jeffcoat - It looks like you had a memorable day!  Good for you. However I am not sure that I would have spent any time with Morticia!  Those strwberries really look good though!

Morticia was a sweet thing.  Taranchulas have been given an unfair reputation.

You did not disappoint with these photos, Myrl. My sister would love the tarantula photo. Until I forced her to get rid of all her spider, lizard and snake cages, along with the critters, she'd still be sleeping with bats and whatnot. The creepier it is, the more she likes it. I don't know how she got to be so deformed when we come from the same genes.

Just curious. . .Is your sister a Scorpio?  I have a daughter and a grandson (both Scorpios), and they love snakes, lizards and taranchulas.

Those berries looked darn tempting, Myrl Jeffcoat ... however, I do NOT think that tarantula does ...
