Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday, the 10th day of May, 2020.
Overcast sky with a breeze.
Today is Mother’s Day.
This is an unique one, as they go.
Some children may not be able to visit with their Mothers due to COVID19 and others may live under the same roof.
But whatever your truth is or wherever you may be, you are still able to reach out and tell your MOTHER just how important she is to you.
She doesn’t want huge bouquets of flowers, diamond necklaces, big boxes of chocolates or fancy gifts; she only needs you.
Tell your Mom, your Mother on this Mother’s Day ….. how much you love her, how much your admire her, how grateful you are for everything she has done.
But most of all for just being your Mom.
Keep it simple.
Maybe even write a poem and mail it to her in a card (it would be late but that is okay).
You could write the poem and take a picture of it and text to her OR email her.
I thought perhaps it would be appropriate to share some of my posts from Mother’s Days gone by.
The first is from May 2010 shortly after I began to write this blog, and the other May 2017.
I hope that all the Mothers on the planet are able to have a wonderful day.
Just being safe and in good health.
That is the most important.
Without Mothers we would not be here.
Just to add some colour to this post,
how about some pretty flowers.
I do love flowers.
To add I am having the best Mother’s Day weekend.
Two of my friends came over yesterday morning and we had a fantastic coffee party on the deck.
Keeping in mind the social distancing.
One friend brought Tim’s coffee and donuts.
The other friend surprised we girls with a card, chocolates and a lotto max ticket. (I won $10.00).
Alvin’s BF Teddy came to spend the day and shortly after his arrival, Humphrey came and spent the day with us, too.
The boys all joined we girls on the deck.
When the sun was shining it was warm but when the clouds rolled over it was chilly.
But that did not stop the laughter or the smiles or the conversation.
Have an awesome Mother’s Day.

May 2010 Mother’s Day
I want to tell everyone that may not know or be aware that I have the best daughter on the planet. Truly she is. Amanda is warm, charming, loving, giving, compassionate, intelligent, artistic, creative, and above all else LOVES HER MOTHER !!!
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I thought that I would share some things with all of you. My daughter, really does love me. We are best friends. We love the same things. Like shopping, movies, television, photography, jewellery, purses, puppies, and books. I am truly the luckiest Mother on the planet. Now if Al (Alvin) just felt the same.
I want to wish every Mother out there – a very Happy & Special Mother’s Day.
To all the children out there – make sure that you tell your Mothers that you LOVE THEM. Treat them with the love and respect that they so richly deserve. Remember they changed your diapers, read you books, made your Halloween costumes, put band-aids on your “boo boos”, made cupcakes or cookies for the school bake sale, and were always there when you needed a friend. Trust me no one else on the planet would be changing your poopy diapers at 3:00 a.m. unless they were your Mother. Okay, not to offend the Dads out there …… but really mostly the Moms are changing those smelly diapers in the middle of the night.
So CHEERS to all the Moms out there, have a great Mother’s Day weekend.
You deserve nothing but the absolute BEST.
Take Care. Live Life to the fullest.
Thank you Amanda for being such a great daughter.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE !!

Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 14th day of May, 2017.
Happy Happy Mother’s Day.
Yesterday after a long raining day the sun came out.
Now this morning it is partially overcast and windy but I can see the sun.
I wrote this on the fly on FB, as I wanted to wish all the Mothers Happy Mother’s Day
My girl just called and they are coming over.
So happy to see them today.

Happy Happy Mother’s Day “Moms.”
Mothers come in all styles.
They may be yours by birth or they may not.
They may be rich or they may be poor.
They may be light or they may be heavy.
They may be yours, they may be mine.
They may stay at home or work away.
They may cook and clean or maybe hire another.
They may sew or maybe not.
They may bake or not.
But they are always your Mother.
They will always love you.
They will always care about your well-being.
Somedays it may not seem that way but in their hearts, it is true.
I want to wish each and every Mother a very special day.
I hope that you are as blessed as me.
Just remember to be a Mom does not mean you must give birth to a child …… it is the love, care and attention that you give to another being that makes you a Mother.
Happy Mother’s Day.
