She DOES look happy. I strolled out the the Sunday market here, 45 seconds from our door and bought a "sacristain", a very yummy treat for Laurie that is a cross between a croissant, baclava and a mille feuille. We nibbled on it and thought back to 35 years ago when we found out she was pregnant, the wonderful beginning of it all.
Well, I did get in a Mediterranean lunch yesterday with my only child and grandchild, noting that an almost two year old can enjoy fried kibbeh and chicken shawarma. That was pretty good for a Mother’s Day.
Well that's lovely and about as good as it gets. Laurie got a phone call from #1 son and they chatted for almost two hours. The #2 son is a numbskull but we love him but he is lousy at keeping in touch even if I prod him early on Mother's Day...
makes me think of Madres de Plaza de Mayo, those who used to gather in Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo in 1977, demanding information about their children who had been forcibly "disappeared" by the regime. (something for america to look forward to) ...they marched weekly, wearing white headscarves embroidered with their children's names...a powerful political protest..

Enjoy the day as much as that sacristan. Life is delicious when enjoyed together!
It really is, thanks Carole. Maybe out to dinner at some little cafe nearby.
Cheers to all the wonderful mothers of the world!
Your poem is perfect for mothers, Carole, and the rhythm is perfect, too.
Thank you, CJ, and I hope you are having a nice day. Glad you enjoyed the rhythm—it just worked out that way.😊
Yes! It was a perfect poem! You’re good … you’re really good.

Let’s hope not. I hope some people are paying attention.
Awww, Carole, this is lovely for mothers everywhere. Thank you.
