Hey Y’all!
Sunday IS comin’!!! And it is no normal Sunday! It’s Mother’s Day….. a day that in its modern form was established by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century to honor her mother and other mothers. The first official Mother’s Day was celebrated in 1908, and it became a national holiday in 1914. I remember having to go into the yard on Mother’s Day Sunday before church to find red roses (then white when my grandmas passed away.) We always made little gifts at school for our mothers = I can still see this little pottery bowl that sat on the kitchen counter for years. I love you, Mama! Thank you for being my mom. When I had children, I remember getting those same little bowls myself. I also remember the year Jim thought he would be “cute” so he gave me a broom and dustpan for Mother’s Day. I think there was a bracelet or something in there also! But, you know, today I think I would prefer a really good broom to any bracelet!
