The big thing at my house for dinner though was beans and rice. It sort of faded from the menu eventually, so much that when my family and I did the trip to Puerto Rico with my daughter's school group back in 2014 I freaked out when the cater served us beans and rice. This might sound weird but it was literally like see and old friend again.

I don't remember doing anything special for Mothers Day when I was little, then Mum left when I was seven. When my kids were small I often got breakfast in bed on Mothers Day which they would carry in on a tray and then sit on the bed and help me eat it all. Now I spend mothers Day quietly at home, the kids know I don't like a fuss so they send text messages and cards. My oldest two have kids of their own so those grandkids spend the day spoiling their mum.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-54985539081787639322017-05-13T21:32:06.546-07:002017-05-13T21:32:06.546-07:00Hey Anita, Thank you my friend, I appreciate your ...Hey Anita, Thank you my friend, I appreciate your kind we.<br /><br />It's great that you are spending time with your Mom tomorrow and cooking for her too, that is so nice.<br /><br />It's good to see you AnitaJimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-83208733687723669132017-05-13T21:28:14.414-07:002017-05-13T21:28:14.414-07:00Hi Val, it's good you have memories of your Mo...Hi Val, it's good you have memories of your Mom that make you laugh, still feeling her around you just shows how close you were.<br /><br />Being a good Mom includes making plans when the rest of us fail to do so, glad your boys are going to be there to laugh out loud with you, have a great time.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-71041380516434959962017-05-13T21:16:04.225-07:002017-05-13T21:16:04.225-07:00Hi Patti, you were blessed with great Moms I see, ...Hi Patti, you were blessed with great Moms I see, and Moms like these will always be with you.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-15912581143284617572017-05-13T21:13:01.415-07:002017-05-13T21:13:01.415-07:00Hi Joey, thank you for the Mothers Day wishes for ...Hi Joey, thank you for the Mothers Day wishes for all of our Moms, it's good to have you here.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-48905425503075242402017-05-13T18:25:20.228-07:002017-05-13T18:25:20.228-07:00Hi Dora, it will be good for you to see Bart, your...Hi Dora, it will be good for you to see Bart, your daughter in law will be surprised with her gift.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-71167283749469656282017-05-13T15:28:20.914-07:002017-05-13T15:28:20.914-07:00I enjoyed your tribute to your mom, Cindy's mo...I enjoyed your tribute to your mom, Cindy's mom, Cindy, and the rest of us!

I have lots of old blog posts about her, and the memories make me laugh out loud at some of the things Mom did.<br /><br />We are headed to the northeast Oklahoma casinos on Mother's Day. I'd like to say that my boys and husband planned the perfect holiday gift for me...but I'm the one who scheduled it, without even realizing it fell on Mother's Day. At least both my college boys are joining me!

They are all gone now but will never be forgotten.
