A Year in MINIons- MINIon #1914

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!  I did some research for MINIon #1914 (like I do for all the MINIons, because numbers are important) and discovered that the person who pushed for Mother’s Day to become a national holiday decided in the end that it wasn’t a great idea.  Not that having a holiday that honors Mom was bad, but how it had become so commercialized (back in the 1930’s & 40’s) that it took away from her original idea… Welcome to America.  I wonder what she’d say now?

As for my mom- I hope she has a wonderful day with her new puppy and her old puppy, and that Dad gets her a hot cocoa or one of those new cream frappuccino drinks when he makes his Starbuck’s run this morning.  Yes, I will call her today (Did you know that Mother’s Day is the biggest day for long distance phone calls?) to hear about how wonderful my siblings are, except for those who aren’t because they haven’t called yet.

As for Sue’s mom (my other mom)- I hope the weather is good enough for some golf, or at least a nice walk on the beach before the tourist season starts in earnest, I’m sure Sue will try to call sometime today (Did you know that Mother’s Day is the biggest day for long distance phone calls?) .

I thank both of these ladies for their support over the years, and having to put up with me.  Again, Happy Mother’s Day! Oh, Call your mother if you can (Did you know that Mother’s Day is the biggest day for long distance phone calls?).
