tucked into a teeny tiny motel, three hours north of home, my oldest daughter kimberly and i are spending some mother~daughter time alone together. for me it's just fun, but for her it's a much needed break. this last week alone she moved, went to school, worked, single parented her two children + her friends two for the week. she was so tired last night she fell asleep mid sentence. this morning she said to me, mama, i didn't even say goodnight! while we are here we plan to do alot of nothing along with walks on the beach, antiquing, eating seafood and sleeping. when i get back home i'll do my best to catch up in my journal here, i've got some exciting things to write!wish you were here!
♥ lori & kimberly
lovely photo - where are you??? have fun wherever you are
ReplyDeleteLori: I´ve just got back from my home town trip where I went with my parents and left home Camila and my husband. I stayed in a hotel and rested a LOT!!! That made me feel so great, home chores were left for 3 days , phew, that´s really something!
ReplyDeleteI hope you two have a great weekend , have fun and enjoy each other these special moments.
Love to you!
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI have just sent you two mails, I wish I could be with you and Kim!!!
Lots love, have a wonderful time.
I wish I was there too. What a cute little place to stay. Long walks on the beach....HEAVEN.
ReplyDeleteLori, to you and your daughter enjoy your days together. Have a lot of fun and "carpe diem". I really wish I could be there. It looks so wonderful. Greetings from Germany, Inge
ReplyDeleteI just read your reply to my questions about sea glass and wild flower and I would love to do a swap. First I'll look through my stash and gather some up for you, then we can coordinate details. xx Aden
ReplyDeleteSounds like you both are having a wonderful time together! Walking on the beach at sunset, sunrise - or hey, just ANY time is so relaxing! And having Mother-Daughter time is a gift!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!
Happy May Day!
Hugs,
♥ Robin ♥
Oh my, what a strong and wonderful daughter you have. Rest and rejuvenate, you two. Have lots and lots and lots of fun. Ahh, a mother-daughter weekend. What bliss!

ReplyDeleteGlad you're having some time together. That said, I DO wish I were there!
ReplyDeleteyou are a beautiful mum to do this with your child.
ReplyDeletehave fun and i look forward to when you return.

Enjoy your selves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing for you to do with an exhausted daughter. I put my exhausted daughter on a plane today for ten days in Costa Rica. I sincerely hope she enjoys her time and comes back relaxed. Young people have so much to worry about these days.
ReplyDeleteLiving in this topsy turvy house right now, I wish I was there too...
ReplyDeleteA nice mother daughter outing.
She is so luck as are you!! I wish I had had a mother like you... Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteAwe.... that is so wonderful, Lori!! I just got back from mom's weekend at OU with my daughter Alex. It's great to spend alone time with our children.
ReplyDeleteHello there! Pray tell ... are you in Oregon? YOU are just what your precious daughter needed. Happy Mother's Day next Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pic of the motel!!
The motel looks cute! I hope my girls ALWAYS call me momma. Momma is one of my favorite words. I still call mine momma too.
ReplyDeleteWe're home now, back to work this monday morning:( but i shouldn't complain, we had a WONDerFul three days away!

we were in Caycuos, it's a tiny beach town just minutes south of Cambria. Do you know the place?

mina,
that sounds so nice, we all need a break from the everyday chores (and from work outside the home too). so glad you had a nice time!

Geli,
you would LOVE it there i'm sure. It's a darling little town with nice people, fun shops, a pretty beach, everything for a perfect getaway! wish you were too...

Coco,
if you get to the central coast of California, i hope you can see Cayucos and Cambria, they are lovely towns!

kavita,
i think you and your hubby need to come out here for a second honeymoon, it would be the perfect (affordable)romantic place!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
reya,
you probably spent time in this area, it is much the same i'd imagine. the pace of life there is the same too, s...l...o...w... perfect.
robyn,
ReplyDeletethank you, i feel most lucky that she wants to spend the time with me. i always feel that with my kids.

Silke,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
manon,

helen,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
janet,
the pic doesn't even do it justice, the motel is beyond adorable. the gardens, the rooms, so cute!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my frogs,
Yes! i know! mine all do, even my big grown sons, sometimes they say mommy, just being playful though, as in my little mommy! i love it too. i'm sure your kids will, just keep signing off that way maybe!
Looks like a darling place!
ReplyDeleteWishing you both a relaxing and lovely time together!
LL
I really, REALLY need a weekend like that sometime soon :)
ReplyDeleteLori, I think you just got an advanced Mother's Day gift. How special to spend alone time with your daughter. I also love my time with my girls.And the photo -- spectacular!
ReplyDeletelori, would you consider adopting me? does it matter that i am older than you?
ReplyDeletethat first shot is incredible. it is one of my favorites of all time, i think because it takes me to a motel and time that is safe and colorful. you are an AMAZING photographer and lifeographer. (i made that last word up but it is so true!)
i'm surprised i've arrived here so late. usually i'm itching to leave my 5th comment by now!
i think the relationship between Mothers and their children is worth dying for, and worth living for. i know your kids adore you and it's easy peasy to know why.
love love
guess who :)
Oh Lori. I love your photos and the sea glass is beautiful. What a special find. Precious.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely time with your daughter. There is something so special about time with Mothers and Daughters together.
Enjoy!
Sounds beautiful have an awesome time x
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you can share your break together. Peace.
ReplyDeleteLori - I had a feeling you were there. My brother lives there - LOVE that town. looks like you had a lovely time.
