Celebratory days can be hard as we’re so far from family.
My mom, dad and siblings are together in NC honouring Mom’s Day
and my nephew’s graduation from Duke.
Today in New Brunswick it will be 50 degrees but sunny.
We’re having a picnic supper with several in the same ex-pat situation;
three are from Australia, one is from Mexico, and another from Ghana.
With a nod to my Southern roots
we are having sloppy joes, baked beans and banana pudding.
This is a pattern by Black Sheep Wool that I hooked
many years ago- it's my most motherly image!
And here are my own Sweet Peas, all grown and just terrific.
A loving shout out to my own mother who so splendidly gave and gives her best.
XXXXOOOOO
I think back over the years to women who didn’t have children of their own but who mothered
me when my mom couldn’t be there!
Thank you for your mothering gifts.
They were priceless in my formation and they continue to be.
My heart overflows today.

What a great tribute to your mother and all those ladies who also helped make you the woman and mother you are today. Great Lady Liberty rug. Happy Mother's Day to you as well.
Oh, I can't reply to your comment on my blog because you are a no-reply blogger so will do it here. Thanks for the compliment on my Magdalena rug.
Happy Mother's Day to you! Enjoy the day with your friends.
Your weather is better than that in northern Ohio. 50* but cloudy and damp. Spring, please come and stay for more than a day. I hope we don't go from chilly to hot.
Good looking kids ❤️
Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day! Love your motherly rug too! What sweet peas you have also. Enjoy your day!!! Janice
