Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day. As I was thinking about today and what it means I thought about the many different layers of moms I have known. My great grandmother whom my oldest daughter is named after. My husbands grandmother who we were able to visit with often this winter. I thought about my grandmothers and the memories I have of them. There were all the Christmas' that I wrapped presents and had a Kentucky Fried Chicken dinner with Grandma Dunbar. Or the ice cream cones my Grandma Palmer always had in her freezer for my kids. There are various aunts, and teachers that weren't necessarily my mom but had a huge impact on my life. But, really what about my mom.  She taught me that every holiday is a family event. She is someone who puts on makeup every morning no matter what. She makes sure that if the kids are asking for something I have said absolutely no to they have a good chance of getting it with her. She took care of me after my hysterectomy leaving dad for weeks. She doesn't care for cold weather but after moving to Illinois was there within the first 60 days in mid December to make sure we weren't freezing to death. She also makes the best butter cream icing I have ever had.  Love to all, Happy Mother's Day...
