I know. Mother’s Day isn’t until Sunday. However, I normally write on Friday before the weekend gets too hectic.
What are your plans for Mother’s Day?
When I was growing up, we normally had a bunch of friends over–families from church with all the mothers, fathers, and kids. My dad would do a big chicken BBQ and each family brought a side or dessert. Mom and I usually made a big batch of potato salad.
Come on. We ALWAYS made a big batch of potato salad. What’s the point of potato salad unless there is some left over to sneak out of the fridge later? And the few times we tried, we still wound up with the big yellow bowl full, plus about two servings which wouldn’t fit…
It was a beautiful time up around the Great Lakes. While winter has finally paased, and the weather has warmed, the summer swelter hasn’t yet arrived, Hay fields are growing toward mowing season, spring flowers are popping up everywhere. It is truly a beautiful place. And the spring flowers didn’t bother my mother as much when we picked bouquets. The golden rod and wild flowers in the fall about did her in, so they had to sit outside on the cistern lid, in front of the kitchen window.
How do you celebrate Mother’s Day?
And perhaps your mother likes to read…
I’m getting into a book our daughter bought for me–the complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales. I know. I’m weird.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mother’s Day!
And Don’t Forget…
…to Share the Romance…
