Mother’s Day…

Today is Mother’s Day in the States.

A time to reflect and say Thank You for the tireless job of being a Mom!

I always get a yummy breakfast in bed, homemade cards and various other gifts. Yesterday I was treated to a special tea at a local Bed and Breakfast that included scones, cakes, sandwiches, etc. The Innkeeper made the most amazing orange marmalade cake that made us have to take a walk afterwards!! ha

We were in Italy this year during Father’s Day and stumbled upon a parade in Lucca.  I wonder what they do for Mother’s Day?

Today we will take time to cook a nice meal for my Mother In Law. She chose crab cakes and light side dishes like sweet potatoes and fresh salads.

We also have a tradition of new baby dedications at our church-I can not wait to see the sweet young child and the proud Mom promising to raise them in a Christian home.

I am always sorry for my friends and family who do not have Mom’s to cook for or send cards to but still have memories to share. I dedicate this page to all those GREAT MOM’s out there in any part of the world doing all they can to make a difference in their children’s lives!Parade on Father’s Day

Happy Mom
