To get ready for Mother's Day, Suzanne and I took a walk in the Institute woods where we saw the George Washington marker and then Suzanne made her way through the woods

and we celebrated the life of Hugh mercer before reading about the Mercer oak which died here and is coming back to life here.

Back at home, I took before photos of Ben before he went off to get his Mother's Day present

At the PEF dinner, we sat with Alan and Audrey who posed for these photos.
