Second stop on the adventure ( I forgot to take photos! Can you believe that?!): Dinner at a old "haunt" of my parents when they were courting fifty-one years ago, "Sunnybrook Restaurant - a.k.a Marina's Soda Shop," at the corner of Bayview and Eglinton in Toronto. Still amazing food and amazing service after all those years!
Third and final stop ( well, we took a bit of a detour to the beach on the way home) on the adventure: Visiting my grandparents at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto - the most gorgeous cemetery I have ever been to in Canada!
Mom wanted to place these silk flowers in honour of her mother at the graveside. 
Protecting the flowers from the elements! (It kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me but hey, it's my mom's idea, so I need to respect that, especially on Mother's Day!)
My mom ...
My mom and I....
My mom and dad... 
These pics were taken of mom and I yesterday after the tea! Like mother like daughter!
Mom thoroughly enjoyed her day! Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating you! Thank you for loving your children unconditionally!

I love the photos! It is so "mom like" of her generation to want to save the silk flowers from the weather and so mature of you not to try to change her mind on that one!
Thank you so much for coming to read my blog. I love meeting new bloggy friends. I'm glad to know the weather is getting better in Canada. It WAS a long winter.
Okay, and your mom saving the flowers from the weather is the cutest thing ever. It's a sweet testament to how much she must've loved her mother. It looks like your mom enjoyed her Mother's Day!
Love the photos of you and your Mom and Dad. It's nice that you got to spend the day with them. My mom is in Florida. Thanks for popping by to my blog. I added you to my blogroll. :-)
