Jem! Thank you. I was already thinking of sharing this before reading your post. Conversation with my 16-year old today: "How come you agreed to this?" he asks. Raised eyebrow. "I know why people celebrate Mothers' Day. Why are you agreeing to do it?" he amplifies. "Because of the size of babies' noses," I reply without thinking. He raises his eyebrows. I can tell he's already starting to regret the conversation and I have to stand by my remark now lol. "Well," I explain. "They're really very small, babies' noses; very easy to pinch and it will probably only take a few minutes. Next time your mother p*sses you off, think about that for a moment." It's conversations like this that I enjoy most about motherhood. Thank your mothers today! lol Pagan

To all the lovely mothers in the Houzz! God bless and keep you. Enjoy your special day. And, as my own mother used to tell me when she was well, there are some of us who are quite the mutha! Ha!! Maria Elena

Thank youuuuu!!!

Thank you, and a Happy Mother's Day to you too, and to everyone who functions as a mother, no matter who/what they are nurturing. Both my girls stopped today to visit. I had to smile, I know my kids well. Amanda brought a Family Farm gift certificate to go toward a new gate for the barnyard. Ashley brought flowers. One very sensible girl and one more emotional one, and they are both like me in their own ways. Plus they brought the Grandkids, so it's all good! I did not cook, other than a pan of brownies I made last night. Elery cooked a chuck roast, "pulled" it and mixed it with BBQ sauce, to be eaten on buns. It was pretty darned good, too! Annie
