For Mother's Day, Mer and I planned a treasure hunt throughout the neighborhood! We told Mom to meet at my house at 2 p.m., and handed her the first clue.
There is only one marine animal that we know of on Briarwood
Find a clue there to get started on a hunt through the ‘hood
Now that you’ve found your first clue,
let Lucy lead you to clue #2
Lucy loves to sniff the mulch on this particular section of the street, and she did lead Mom right to the clue! Dad helped find it.
Only a fairy could fit through this door
Find a clue there and then you’ll find more
The fairy house at Abby's house!
You can hook up a fire hose to this tap,
But you gotta find it yourself, we’re not giving you a map
A grand driveway entrance made of brick
Is where you’ll find our next clue trick
Onward! Now you must push
To find orange flagging tied to a bush
What’s this? Irises ready to bloom
Find a clue there then zoom zoom zoom
Underneath here you’ll have to look,
The only place on the street to borrow a book
When you find the next clue you won’t be failing
To look underneath a public railing
Down on the “low side” you’ll see
A place to live if you were a chickadee
This thing that looks like a lollipop
Actually tells your car just where to stop
When we moved to Athens I didn't understand
Why there seemed to be so many Tigers fans
Then I found out that this special D
Was for Dispatch, not baseball, you see
This is it!
Your final clue
Head to Mer’s house,
we’ll show you what to do
Little Kate made a lovely finish line sign!
Mer and I decorated the yard, and had disposable gloves and hand sanitizer available! And gift for mom!
Felix was excited to watch Mom open her gift. A weather station!
Though we've seen each other throughout the quarantine, this Mother's Day gathering was the first time we actually got to relax and enjoy each other's company. We had beers! Mer grilled sausages and served them very safely with gloves on.
Felix supervised my sausage eating.
We also had individual bags of chips! No sharing.
Family time!
