Happy Peg's Day 2014

Maggie, Jane, Annemarie, Tom & Peg

On this mother's day, I would like to take the moment to honor my mama for raising four people who genuinely get along and like each other.

Several years ago my mom said, "I wish I hadn't raised such independent children."

We are not checker-inners. We aren't the kind of people who call or text or email every day, every week, every month. My own kids and I are the pretty much the same.
(Shout out to Peg for texting in 2014...)

We get together because we want to. Jane is the catalyst to making sure we all DO stay in touch. 
(Shout out to Jane...)

My mom has 12 grandchildren, 10 pictured here. The cousins all like each other too.

It's a fabulous family.

I recognize this day as a Hallmark opportunity. Some people will have elaborate plans for the day. Some people will go out to a meal. Some people will be on the field of their kids sporting event. Some people will be sad. Some will be angry. Some will be resigned. Some will feel guilt. Some will feel grief. Some will feel joy. Some will feel only love. Some are still wondering just where the hell their girls are.

For me, I am delighted to have a mom who I can call on the way to work to chat with, fill in on my life, find out what's happening in her life and then go about the business of running a salon.

I am delighted I have a mom on FB and one who supports my many endeavors.

I am delighted she is in good health.

Happy Mother's Day, Mama! 

I love you lots.

Have THE best day!

Love & Kisses,
Mags

When I lived with my mom as an adult, she introduced me to Kitaro. It was the beginning of my love of New Age music.
