HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY MOM
This is my mother at age 18. She was the 'most special mother' to her children and she was loved. Her name was Mae, a delight to all who knew her and especially me.
What Is a Mother?
A mother can be almost any size or any age, but she won't admit to anything over thirty. A mother has soft hands and smells good. A mother likes new dresses, music, a clean house, her children's kisses, an automatic washer and Daddy.
A mother doesn't like having her children sick, muddy feet, temper tantrums, loud noise or bad report cards. A mother can read a thermometer (much to the amazement of Daddy) and like magic, can kiss a hurt away.
A mother can bake good cakes and pies but likes to see her children eat vegetables. A mother can stuff a fat baby into a snowsuit in seconds and can kiss sad little faces and make them smile.
A mother is underpaid, has long hours and gets very little rest. She worries too much about her children but she says she doesn't mind at all. And no matter how old her children are, she still likes to think of them as her little babies.
She is the guardian angel of the family, the queen, the tender hand of love. A mother is the best friend anyone ever had. A mother is love.

I know your mother was an incredible woman and treasured by her entire family. She created a lasting legacy in each of you.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.

What a lovely tribute to such a fine, loving woman!!
I hope your own day was just wonderful---mine was WAY NICE as well. Woke to a pitcher of white roses, met all the in-town kids for a lovely lunch, went to library and bookstore, then finished the day with takeout Chinese for dinner, while we all watched the finale of Survivor. Just the small things, so enjoyable.
Hope to hear about all your adventures last week with your sassy guest!

What a touching tribute to a beautiful mother! You loved her very much. I know how you miss her because I feel the same way about my mom too! Thanks for the share. Our oldest son Jeremy graduated from college on Mother's Day! It was quite a day! Then our youngest son Nick graduated 2 days later! We are tired!
Have a terrific week Jeanne!
