It has been a tough few days.
For a lot of reasons, I'm hoping today goes by quickly and I just get through it.
I know holidays bring mixed, or just plain sad, emotions for a lot of people.
I was lucky enough to grow up with a fantastic mother, however.
(I think my dad must have been the one who took the above photo. He's always loved cameras - go figure.)
I'm the baby in the blue dress and that's my mom holding me up.
It seems like she's done that, in one way or another, a million times throughout my life.
Happy Mother's Day to her ... and all of you!

-->Happy mother's day to you too!
(We finally have the liner and water in the new pool. Our SEAL team 6 buddy, his daughter and my son already jumped in and it's COLD.)

Happy Mother's Day!
I laughed when I saw the poodle. I think it was required for everyone in Southern California in the 60's to have one! :)
Enjoy your day!

That is so funny. We had a poodle too! Oh the 60's. Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Thanks everybody. The poodle wasn't ours. I grew up with a terrier! : )

Sorry life has been treating you badly. Mother's day can be difficult. So far today I have had one electronic card from a daughter-in-law. I may hear from my daughter who lives near by. I don't expect my sons to notice, and my other 2 daughters live abroad and probably don't know it's mother's day.
I do hope things improve for you soon.

Your Mum looks very pretty and you were one cute bubba. Hope your day has some bright spots in it somewhere.
