Thank you Bill. That's so sweet of you to think of all us Mom's.  I'm having a nice day so far..weather here in California is absolutely beautiful. Sun's out, birds are singing...and I'm out to enjoy the park today. The worse part of my day is this is the first Mother's Day without my Mom. She passed away last August from lung cancer so it's been difficult in that sense for me. But I plan to make the best of it...that's what she would of wanted.
I too would like to wish all you wonderful ladies a VERY HAPPY MOTHER's day. All the best.
Enjoy!
Chelee

Hey Bill!!! Thanks! We had a great day! My granddaughter (8) "took" me, my husband and my motherin-law (a sweetie) to a fun little cafe(little town) to eat and then bowling for mother's day! The best part was that she was the only one to bowl! My mother-in-law loved it! It was so "back in time" and so much fun! Good food and so simple. Little things are so huge these days!
You're a good kid, Bill!!!!!!

Thanks Bill for remembering us mothers on Mother's day. This is always a hard day for me as I lost my mother to BC 11 years ago and still have trouble with this day. She was not only my mother but a friend. Happy Mother's Day to all my Her2 sisters!
