A bouquet had been created by Dieter's friend. A lovely arrangement of flowers was one of three that decorated the dining room table that morning.

A vase filled with sun flowers was a gift from Benny. That was the second bouquet that decorated the dining room table that morning.

A small succulent in a decorated pot was the third plant to bestow a celebratory feeling on the dining room table.

Terry stood at the dining room table and opened the first of two presents from her daughter Benny

Her first present was a puzzle that featured dogs.

Terry's second present that Mother's Day morning was an abstract 1,000 piece puzzle.

A charcoal barbecue was set up on the outside patio. Beyond brand meet-less brats and corn on the cob were cooking for lunch.

The charcoals were lit and ready to cook the food laid out on the grill. As the food later cooked, a cloud of smoke and steam rose to engulf the back yard.
