Dessert at Madonna Inn
Scott & I have yet to masterthe uber cool mirror shot
Scott really surprised me on Mother's Day. After Sacrament meeting at church he said, let's go! I had no idea where we were going, but the girls were in on it! We drove to the coast for the day- it was a beautiful clear sunny day, which was much appreciated because we had rain and wind at home. We ate lunch at the Madonna Inn, walked on the beach, and visited Grandma Fortner's graveside. Scott gave me a beautiful Mother's Day ring- I love it!
The Friday before Mother's Day I drove to Bakersfield to spend the night with my Mother. We managed to squeeze in a little shopping at Macy's Friday night. She bought me the pretty white blouse that I am wearing in the above pictures. My Mother suggested a pedicure, massage or facial for Mother's Day... always looking to save a dime I suggested the local beauty school. I should preface this with my past experience with the local beauty school. My neighbor's daughter needed to accumulate points of credit during beauty school. I was trying to be neighborly and helped her out by buying a $10.oo chocolate facial, yes chocolate! I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. My Mother and I arrived at 10:30 A.M. for our day of beauty... after waiting a half hour our day began! First the facial... the girl left half of the cream on my Mom's face. The guy giving me a pedicure cut my cuticle, and apologized profusely for doing so. The pedicure solution burned my Mother's feet and turned them bright red. My manicure looked like my four-year-old niece painted my nails- no offense Scarlett. We had to postpone our lunch reservation from 1:00 to 1:30. We arrived at "A Bit of Germany" which is a charming local restaurant, that apparently uses a dinner only menu on Saturdays with dinner prices too. Oh, and they close at 2:00 on Saturday afternoons, which might explain why the waitress left our food and the check simultaneously, and then returned five minutes later to ask me if I would like a box for my food. Sometimes you just have to laugh...

Ahhh, beauty school stories.
What a wonderful Mother's Day.
Love the ring - that would be my thoughtful brother!
Sounds like some adventures! A very nice ring from your thoughtful husband.
Happy birthday today Shelly!
Thank you Amy & Karen. Yes, very thoughtful of Scott, and very appreciated by me. :)
Shelly, you made mother's day, & your birthday so special for us. You are a wonderful daughter, & a very special friend to us. We always think we can't love you more, but some how the love continues to grown with every passing birthday. It reminds me of the song that says, "I love you more today then yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow." LUV, Mother
I just realized another spelling error from the last comment. I guess I shouldn't be trying to write at almost 2 a.m., as I'm kind of old now. Have you heard? I have a 43 year old daughter now, which is the age I became grandma. Oh no! Tell Falyn, I'm not in any hurry to be great grandma either. Tell my son in law, the big spender, that I like his style. What a beautiful ring! (mother)
You need to write a script for your beauty school adventures!!
