We had a lovely, relaxed Mother's Day here. After I got back from my lunch, I took Julie out to Jewel to buy a live dahlia plant for Gretchen for Mother's Day (and a cupcake!) which made everyone very happy. Tonight, I grilled steaks for dinner and threw the ball for Ruby the Dog, which made *her* very happy.

Tomorrow, it's back to work and back to school. K has her AP Calculus exam in the morning; then one more day of class on Tuesday and she's all done save for graduation. Julie gets done a bit later.

No Marcon this weekend, so for the second consecutive year, I was home for Mother's Day.

Unlike last year, going to a restaurant was an option, so I arranged with Gretchen to arrive at one of our local places just after they opened, thereby beating the rush. It was a lovely lunch.

Back at home, we unpacked several more boxes back into the new cabinets, moving things around as required. There's still more unpacking to do -- and more things that need to leave the house -- but the end is in sight.

The one annoying thing that we've discovered is that the new drawers are a fraction of an inch less deep than the old drawers, which means that some of the things that fit before the renovation will not fit now. But we'll figure it out.

Eventually.
