Mother's Day Weekend, 2013

Bill asked me what I'd like for Mother's Day. With little hesitation, I answered that I'd like to go back to Douglas, Georgia, and visit the antique shops we saw there in March, but had no time to visit. So, the plan was set.

We arrived in Douglas and had time for three shops before lunch. Our lunch destination had been pre-determined from our previous visit. What a charming deli! See me at right looking through some of their new linens and accessories. We enjoyed the ambience very much.

After lunch, I browsed an antique mall and two other shops before getting so tired I could barely walk to the car. One shop had old sewing and crafting supplies and juke boxes, record players, and old records. A very eclectic mix of items, and very interesting.

My goal had been to find old crocheted or embroidered pieces and that I did. These, along with two from Havana, will be washed, and perhaps dyed, and later framed.

	At the farm I rested, napped, and enjoyed the tranquil setting. Bill surprised me with a quart of mulberries (see left). Unlike those at our homestead, these had not been raided by squirrels. Bill propagated these trees from a homestead in East Berrien and calls it Hamilton No. 1. They are, without doubt, the tastiest mulberries one could want.
I spent a good bit of time on Mother's Day itself making a vanilla-mulberry cake. I decided to make a few changes in the structuring of the cake from the original recipe, and the top of my cake (at right) was marbleized, although not intentionally. That came from exhaustion and inexperience with the recipe. The cake was very tasty and I plan to continue this tradition whenever possible.
It was a perfect weekend!
