Such Treasures

Yesterday — Mother’s Day — my sweet Mikah got me alone and said,

“Mom, for Mother’s Day I am going to be good all day. But, do we really have to watch one of your movies?”

You see, I had said that what I really wanted to do on Mother’s Day was watch one of my Jane Austen movies. I haven’t watched one in awhile because not all the family is interested at the same time and anyway, I’d rather stay up sewing most evenings.

We didn’t end up watching one of those, though — not because of Mikah’s request, but because Jeff remembered that the Survivor finale was on last night. Jane Austen got bumped again.
