My Mother’s Day Gift; Surprisingly It’s Not A Fruit Bouquet

You know, you would think that every mother in the world would want a fruit bouquet for Mother’s Day. Why WOULDN’T she?! Nothing says “Thanks, Mom, for all you do for me. You’re the best!” quite like some chemically bathed magical cut fruit that never turns brown and comes from a state 14 hours away. For all of you sucker husbands out there who actually bought those for the woman who bore your strapping sons, maybe you should keep reading and see what REAL men do for their wives to celebrate them.

A Family Portrait

There we are! That’s my mom and dad and me circa 1981. I’m not sure what was going on when this was taken. It must have been some kind of big deal, though. You can tell by my dad’s sweet 3-piece and my mom’s Little House On The Prairie dress and cameo broach.
