My brother and I made brunch. He made omelettes, sausage, english muffins; I
made Eibrot, bacon, and prepared the berries (strawberries, blackberries,
and raspberries). We both worked on the hash browns, lol. It was delicious,
and my mom was happy to have everyone (Dad, 3 brothers, their
wives/girlfriend, myself, and all the kids) around her. My sister and
another brother in MN had an "Edible Arrangement" sent over...if you're not
familiar, it's a bunch of fresh fruit made to look like a flower bouquet. It
included cantaloupe, pineapple, honeydew, grapes, watermelon, and
strawberries (both chocolate covered and unadorned). It was yummy too!

My daughter painted me a beautiful watercolor as a gift, which I loved.
