Brenda phoned and won't be able to make it for dinner because of an infection in her mouth. I asked Barbara to come in her stead and then thought May would like to sit with us. Can't think of any other friends who are not visiting or are not the recipient of Mother's day celebrations. We slide along our paths whether there are humps or not.
I always dread Mother's day but feel better when I can wish my own daughters all the best.
I liked What's his name (can't remember but he wrote sunshine sketches of a little town) ah! it was Stephen Leacock who wrote about a picnic out on Mother's day. The Mother was asked to make all her special recipes so was cooking all morning. Extra relatives turned up and they only had so much transportation so it landed up there was no room for her so she stayed home. The party had a good time, arrived home exhausted and Mother had to clean up all the dishes etc.!
Never mind, at least it may bring families together or maybe not.
Saw on television a black Sports hero who was being honoured but gave such a genuine appreciation for his single mother who made him toe the line and have discipline to train for his talent and education at a very young age even as she struggled to make ends meet. I say Bravo for women such as this.
