On today's Satellite Sisters,  Liz, Sheila and Monica start and finish with Mother's Day wishes, first for all the mothers in the Satellite Sisterhood and last for our niece and Satellite Sister Next Gen Meghan who will become a mom for the first time next month.
In other news, Monica files a complete trip report on her beachfront bargain hunt on Annamaria Island in Florida.  Let Monica be your personal Trip Advisor.  Sounds like it was a total winner plus it allowed her to hone an important skill to land the perfect rental.  Negotiation. That's  a first for her. She's also got some Portland food trends to share:  Hams (yes) and Crickets (no). 
Sheila checks out the new sushi place in South Pasadena with less success, but she did hear about a couple of made-for-TV characters Rufus and Lucas.  Or at least that's what she thought she heard over the din of the train.
Liz wants to get everyone on the Save Mindy bandwagon.  Minday Kaling is a longtime fave.  We can do it, sisters! Liz also envisions a crossover Satellite Sisters episode for the fall.  Mindy's got a new book coming out in September.  Ours comes out in October.  We are thinking joint tour!  Or at least a little Mondy visit to the show.  Yes! It's fate.
Liz also recruits some help in the dream interpretation area.  She does not understand a recent dream but is super glad that Don Cheadle is her new boyfriend.  
Thanks to Betty for posting this great story about growing old with your friends on our Facebook group.  Tiny House movement meets Satellite Sisters movement.  We are in.
More thanks to Karen for her post about a major post office fail.  But how were they to know the difference between Austria and Australia??
And do you want the backstory about the best little gelato place in Bend, Oregon?  Bonta Gelato.  Yes, you do, people, because it's part travel adventure, part love story, part agriculture heart and all Oregon soul.  Just one of the many reasons the Sarellite Sisters love Bend.
