We celebrated Mother's Day last night along with my son #4 Birthday. . .He was born on Momma's Day 28 years ago so this was a special year for us since only the 3rd time it has fallen on the same day. Went down to my mom's house and brought all the sides along with a dessert. Made Deviled Eggs, Seafood Stuffing, Green Beans, Squash Casserole, along with Baked Beans and Potato Salad because that is what my mom wanted and then a Cheese Cake that is my son's favorite plain cheesecake topped with chocolate, caramel syrup, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, caramel bites and chopped up pecans. My sis made 3 diffents kinds grilled of grilled shrimp and 2 different steamed crabs. DIL made cheese biscuits and banana pudding.

HUH?

Read it again or tell me the real meaning of Mothers Day.
If anyone would tell the truth or common sense prefailed, it would be obvious.
In my day and your grandparents day it was for your mother not somebody elses or it would be Every Mothers Day,get it now?

Sounds like a great way to hono your mother Mothers Day.

We had a good time even with all this Covid crap. My mom and her husband have been playing it saFe due to mainly his health issues so we did the fist bump when we got there and kept our distance at the table but by the end of the night they both wanted a hug. . . I told them I did hold my breath. . . .

I'll accept that as 'what the philosopher says', but it's not much of a stretch from there to apply it to the grizzly sow who is ripping you apart to feed her cubs.

I think you are seeing things out of focus. We need to stay positive on a positive post. There was no need to be a downer today. I'm so sorry you feel that way about it.

I had a great Mother's Day. I slept late and found my daughter and granddaughter had left me this beautiful hydrangea.

Mother is the most beautiful word in any language. And is an honored title to all who fill that role.

To all mothers on your special day be happy.

Maybe it's better to think of it like Armed Forces day. You answered the call and served your time to earn the title of Mother. We salute all of you as some of us could only cheer from the sidelines.
I did call my mom today (yes, there is still someone that has to plead guilty to releasing me onto the world)
She mentioned that they had a tornado pass in front of the big-house that laid big trees down on the road. No way in or out.
Invited me to bring my chainsaw and play because they are too big to drag thru the 18' wide gate.
I had to tell her the saw hasn't run in years and it would take me a day just to get it running.
(translation: it's time for the young people to step up, and they will).
At 93, she sounded bright and cheerful.

Oh, my daughter that lives in another state and I texted today, I do have a card coming from them. But, they plan to move back to this town area during the year. Today she told me they plan to come search for land early June. They have a rental house here that they stay at since there are 2 parents and 7 kids with one more on the way (October). I'm so glad to know I'll see them again soon.
And My Mom called to start the day. She's doing well in the nursing home and sounded good.

And I pretty much flittered the day away.
