Mother's Day Revisited

Your favorite gift for Mother on her day was...?

I remember as a small girl taking my mom one of my best "gifts" for her big day. I went to the store with dad, and bought mom a " little Lu Lu funny book," my favorite charactor at that time, some candy kisses and a beautiful music box! Never mind that it played Rudolf the Red-Nosed Raindeer! LOL, Mom and I laughed about these 'gifts' for years!

She was quite a mom in my memories. Mom was raised in Minnesota, with thirteen siblings, nine were boys, they had their own ball team, learned to swim from an old wash tub in a lake while being dumped into the water-- it was sink or swim Mom said. She baked bread every other day for all, as she was the oldest girl in the family and was made to quit school to do work at home. I miss her all the time, mom was such fun to be around. She had a wonderful sense of humor!   Happy Mother's day to all.
