Am I the first mother to post today? If so, thanks for all the Mother's Day wishes. DH Richard gave me a lovely card and 2 (count 'em, 2) bags of dark chocolate M&M's (my new favorite).
DH and I consider ourselves very fortunate to still have both mothers. His mom today is in northern Ohio with her oldest son, celebrating the christening of her first great-grandson (born last Dec. on her 88th birthday). Later this afternoon, we're going to pick up my mother, and our DS Rob, and go for Graeter's ice cream near the University of Cincinnati.
My mother has a somewhat irreverent sense of humor and one of my favorite pictures of her was taken at a Halloween party when she was co-leader of my Camp Fire Girls group. The other mother was dressed as a princess or something else lady-like, but my mom is wearing a striped convict outfit and one of those grotesque rubber masks. It says a lot about how much we laughed (and still do - she's a fan of Chicago and The Producers) while I was growing up.
