Happy Mother's Day! Favorite photo of Mom?

[goldfish65]

Just thought we should honor our Moms since it's Mother's Day. They have the most important job, but most of us can't know what it's like. Mine has done a lot of amazing things, but she rarely talks about them. Here's a favorite photo, she was in her '20's, on a shakedown cruise of the sailboat my Dad built. But he didn't build it alone. Even though she was a substitute elementary-school teacher with a toddler, she sanded all the woodwork(!) and sewed all the bunk cushions. Because Mothers do what needs to be done!

Anyone care to share your favorite photo of Mom?

From Mom's 90th B-Day celebration last year.

We had a big gathering planned for today at one of my favorite Country Food eateries but family politics caused everybody to Dick Out cept me of course. So I'll go over and see her later and bring her the nice Oriental Lily Plant I bought her.

Happy Mother's Day to All

Spent a couple of hours with mom this morning and got back home and fiddle farted around in the yard a bit when the rain lightened up. Not Stopped but lightened up, jeeez its been raining and storming for like 4 days straight. Anyhow the Tornado sirens start going off so I flip on the news and a Tornado is like two miles from house and the Wind really starts picking up and it's raining like crazy now. Jump in the truck head back over to mom's and I'm literally drenched between the truck and her front door about 20 feet away. Go in and she's sitting there watching some Clark Gable movie.

She says "Why you back, you forget something and why are you so wet?"

Mom, do you hear those sirens going off?
No
Get up mom there's a Tornado a mile away!
But this is a good movie I haven't seen before.
Mom you want to live to see another movie?
O, okay jeeez.

So got mom in an inner room under a doorway and fortunately the storm passed over with no damage but tore some roofs off and flooded the next town over in Argyle.

Okay Mom I'm leaving again.

ok thanks for coming by.

Gotta love Mom's that are tough as nails and still sharp as a tack @ 90 and still smokes her Carlton's too.

And thanks for sharing photo's of your mom's ya'all.

I'm lucky to still have both of my parents. This is my favorite picture of them together and was taken around 1984.
