Happy Mother's Day...

I wanted to take a brief moment and extend my warmest wishes of Happy Mother’s Day to the all the Moms out there who stop by visiting my blog as well as making a few comments from time to time. I also wish you to know that I love hearing from you and value your thoughts and opinions on my ramblings and ranting.

As a vet, I recall the difficulty in the 1960’s my Mother had on holidays knowing that I would not be stopping by with a card and plant in hand for her. There were many occasions that I was unable to call to wish her greetings and love as the telephone industry was very different back then, with telephone calls averaging $12 to $15 per minute that made it even harder. My Father always accepted the charges on my collect. Calls from somewhere in the world I might be at the time and at times the lines were so bad that hundreds of cross-talk voices could be heard softly in the background. My parents have both passed on since then, but many warm memories remain.
