Yesterday was Mother's Day. It is very much a celebration on this island. Mothers are honored and held in a high place of love and admiration. Gary took me to the Savannah for the Mother's Day brunch. The restaurant staff are just good people. They are genuine. No put ons. They are friendly. They really wanted to make my mother's day special. I even had one of the waitresses remember me from the previous visit and she came up and hugged me and wished me a Happy Mothers Day. Gary's water glass was never empty!
The food is awesome as well. I noticed many a Bajan with heaping plates of food coming from the buffet. I honestly had to stop after the main meal - there was no more room for dessert. Shame, really. (I picked up that way of saying things from Ann in the UK.) I like saying that - really. It just fits - smooth and easy.
This is the outside of the Savannah:
I love this tree - with it's white flowers. I must find out what it is called. I really hope to have one blooming in my backyard someday. The fragrance that comes from these trees is intoxicating!
After the service at my church - I asked a lady that had a new baby - if I could hold it. She didn't know me, but somehow she knew that the correct answer would be a yes. So, I picked up that precious child. That was my mother's day gift! Words can not describe the feelings of contentment that washed over me by that simple act of holding a little baby.
