With Mother's Day upon us, what are your Mother's day traditions?
Growing up we always tried to make my mom a special breakfast and spent the day trying to do things she liked to do. Some years we were more successful than others, but we often did some sort of flower planting or something else that involved the family.
Last year, for Mother's Day, we bought and planted an obscene amount of tomato plants :D This year since we are moving we won't be planting anything- so I am looking for something fun to do other than making Doug help me with yard clean up or cleaning the house. Perhaps we will all escape up the mountain and have a picnic in the trees. It would be fun to see Nora running around in the forest.
And of course I will call my mom and grandmother to wish them a happy Mother's day. Nora loves chattering on the phone to my mom so I am sure she will demand some phone time as well!

For the past three years we have had our pictures made with my mom and sister- me and the girls and them. It's really fun and it takes a lot of pressure off of having to come up with a present. We always eat out as well.

| When I was a young girl (seems so long ago), we would go to my grandmothers ("Mam-Mow") house and we all would make this big southern meal. My grandmother would make the best biscuits in the world. After dinner we would all go outside and sit under the trees in the swings and talk and laugh. I sure miss my grandmother! She taught me so much. Now that I am a grandmother, everyone comes to my house including my mom and we cook and I make the biscuits just like Mam-Mow use to. |

When my grandmother was alive, we would drive up to Grove City or "up home" as my mom says, on Saturday, run around and visit all the other ladies that are special to our family, and eat our favorite Zamarelli's pizza in my Aunt's kitchen (my grand's sister, they lived right next to one another). Then on Mother's Day proper, we would go to church--after church, change clothes and go to our favorite nursey to get geraniums and other annuals for the flower beds.
This year, my mother is driving home from Rockford, ILL after visiting her sister, and I think we're cleaning out the basement. I do so miss those days of going "up home" when Gran was alive.
