I have just read that it was a woman in the American Civil war era who started Mothers day. In the past I have often thought it was just a Hallmark Day. but this year my Day is going well. Yesterday we went to see our daughter and our grandson. It is a two hour drive but it is an easy one all on a main highway. We met at IHOP ( International House of Pancakes) for brunch. My Grandson had a gift for me. He had planted a dahlia and handed it to me.
He also put in a little bird on the soil of the planter. Our daughter told us he had chosen that specifically for us. What a delightful gift and it was all the mores special knowing he had planted it himself ( with some assistance from his Mum)
So Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are Mothers. It is not an easy job!
