mother's day!

What did you guys do for mother's day? I did nothing and it was glorious!

I worked 9-5. When I got home, my wife and daughter and I went over to my mom's. We met her out on the sidewalk in front of her building, all with masks of course. We brought her flowers and talked for a few minutes (socially distancing) and went home.

Worked at our house prepping it for sale, then drove up to Hatcher Pass. Hopefully the panoramo photo works... it's about 300 degrees of the view inside the Independence Bowl, and indescribably beautiful.

I worked on making more face masks which I find relaxing (I ordered some specialized fabric which is a challenge to cut out with the repeat pattern.) I talked to my Mom for an hour and a half--I had texted her some photos of my Dad when he was a child that my Mom had not previously seen and we were trying to figure out where the photos were taken and who all the people were. Also, we were marveling at how much my brothers looked like my Dad at the same age.

Went crappie fishing, had a great day and brought home a big mess of fish to eat. The lake was rough and windy, but sunny and high 50's.
My mom has been gone a long time.

Can I say wow to the photo. Fishindude what about your beautiful wife/mother of your children?

Our kids touched base with their mom.
We don't get all worked up about calendar date holidays. We're both retired, so every day is Saturday.

This is the first year I've been far away from my mom and unable to visit. So we talked on the phone for a while and I sent her a card. But it was also a very sad day. A couple years ago I searched for, and found, my birth mother. She passed late last year from health problems, so Mother's day this year had a very sad undercurrent-- feeling so grateful and celebrating one mother, and being reminded of the loss of another.

Son called for a video chat, so I also got to visit with the next generation mother in the family.
