HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!
By the time you read this BB will be on her way to or already at the NickHotel to spend time with the grandsons, my DIL, La Tata, y mi hijo MAC. It's been 2 years since I last spent a Mother's Day with him and I look forward to a memorable and probably crazy time. But that's the way it is in Babushka's world- elated by the Extremism.
Hope you don't mind the repost, BB's probably ducking the SLIME or battling Shredder right now.
May your Mother's Day be just as memorable.
Babushka Besos a todos. Cuidensen.
5:30 a.m. my son pulls into the driveway, hands me a hard hat and says,
"Happy Mother's Day Ma."
Ok, si, we never were the typical familia.
BB raised her trio to believe in themselves and in what they were doing, to love what they were doing- or at the very least, to find something to love in what they were doing. In all instances do things with heart, from the heart, and always- with gusto & passion!
Another lesson I tried to stress was the importance of homemade gifts. Que? Does that mean BB would turn down cash or a Starbucks GC? JU SO FONII!!! What better complement to a homemade card than having one of those tucked inside? Seriously though, and once again, presents with heart, from the heart.
And so my son, knowing that BB loves twofers (that's two things for the price of one) was going to give me a peek at what he was doing, a tour of his latest job, the Port of Miami Tunnel, and the greatest homemade gift a child can give to their mother- time together.
Naturally Babushka was thrilled when Marine MAC, that's one of the nicknames I have for my son, called to inform me that although he had to work on Madre's Day, he wanted to spend some time together and would pick me up. He wanted to give me a behind the scenes look of the news making tunnel. Oh Joy! At 5:30 a.m. Oh. Joy.
At the port the tour begins. With camera and fan in hand, hard hat in place and visitor tag on lapel, BB tries to keep up. Being my son, and a military man, my son knows only two ways to speak. Either he's detailed and extensive, or short and to the point. Extremes Are Excellent. Thankfully he started off detailed, but once Mr. Sun started to heat the air and he saw BB's fan a fury MAC knew it was time to switch to monosyllables, just naming the parts of the equipment. The following pictures were not the only pictures taken during the tour, but being 5:30 a.m.,a mom, and non mechanically inclined, these are the photos most important to Babushka.

What a mother likes to think about...
Bueno, at least they'll have some fresh air...
At the end of the tour, BB draggin' and a fannin'
waaayyy behind MM
Escorting me to the end of the tunnel, my son said he loved me- with heart, from the heart.
I couldn't have asked for a better Madre's Day.

P.S. When BB started the blog MM didn't want his pic showing, for this post he said yes. Another gift from my boy. Handsome devil isn't he?
P.P.S. On the way to the port my son explained that due to traffic and the heat being heavier later in the day he decided the beginning of his shift would be the best time for the tour. Oh he knows me too well, como si lo hubiera parido. ; )
P.P.P.S. Later in the evening, MM's sons, my grandsons Rinquincaya and PicaPica, and my DIL came by with dinner for me and La Tata. Oh si, one of my best Mother's Day ever.
