Hey Moms! What Will You Do?

[katharina]

For all you moms on the forum, what will you be doing for Mother's Day? For me it will be a great meal out with the family. I already know about my gift, too... a new piece for my main collection.

Sounds like you're looking forward to a really nice Mother's Day, Katharina. For myself, I will get two excellent phone calls and roses from my kids and grandkids. As for hubby, I think it must be earrings, because he's asking me some strange silver-dangly kind of questions recently.

Phone calls and roses sound absolutely fabulous! I had to smile at the "silver-dangly" questions... they never think we know what they're up to, do they? What a great gift and thoughtful hubby!

Thank you, Katharina; I am very lucky.
Guys are so cute when it comes to presents; I think that's half the fun!

Berry Picking

I know I'm a bit early but I'm really into berry picking. All that fine fresh fruit just waiting for someone to take it! I love picking blackberries the most, and I share alot of that bush's bounty with the bears. They are generous in their sharing though, but when I see the forest shaking in front of me I light out quick!

What's even cuter is when we heavily hint for something we'd love to have as a gift. Often the guy will think himself terribly clever for figuring out what we'd like. Shhhh, don't tell!

My first born died on Mother's Day, 1974 so it has been my practice to find other things to think about, and avoid Mother's Day celebrations altogether.

Laughingmouse, I am so sorry to hear about your son. It's really hard when a tragedy happens on or near a holiday, I think it makes it worse. I hope you had a quiet, peaceful Sunday.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Laughingmouse. Finding other things to think about is good, yes. My first baby died in late September and it's always like that for me during that week, too.
