What a glorious day this is and it's Mom's Day and my Mom and my Sis and my Omi are all going to get spoiled this evening with grilled steaks and Alaska King Crab Legs, whatever that is.   I think that it sounds like the most scary food on the planet, but the steak part doesn't sound too bad.

It is sunny and Spring Like here in our home and the wind is blowing through the trees and Mom had to sit me down and make me think into her head, cause I really want to just stay outside and lay in the sunshine.   But I understand the concept of doing a little work on Sunday when your business is sorta freeform like ours is.   So here I am, Blogging Bob.

I got a new post card yesterday from San Diego, which is where my Sister was born in a town called LaMesa) and my Mom lived there for a long time.... so Mom was happy to see the card and told me all about the San Diego Zoo which she said is the most magical place in the entire world, even better than DisneyLand.    I think that I would like the Zoo in San Diego, but I think getting there would be a lot of trouble for me.   That's why I love my PostCards and if you have forgotten about my collecting them, please send me an e-mail at pbest@everythingandthedog.com and we will send you my address and you can mail me a card using the snails.
Thanks!

In case you didn't know about where Mother's Day really started and how, I asked my Mouse (who was late to a Mother's Day Brunch with his 548 brothers and sisters) if he would take just a minute and take me off to my friends at Wikipedia, who as you know is the souce of lots of great information.  And this is what we learned:

In its present form, Mother's Day was established by Anna Marie Jarvis, following the death of her mother on May 9, 1905; she campaigned to establish Mother's Day as a U.S. national, and later an international, holiday.^[1]

Originally the Andrew's Methodist Episcopal Church, the site of the original Mother's Day commemoration, where Anna handed out carnations, the International Mother's Day Shrine is now a National Historic Landmark. From there, the custom caught on—spreading eventually to 46 states. The holiday was declared officially by some states as early as 1912, beginning with West Virginia. On May 8, 1914, the U.S. Congress passed a law designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and requesting a proclamation. ^[7][8] On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made that proclamation, declaring the first national Mother's Day, ^[9][7] as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war. ^[7]

Carnations have come to represent Mother's Day, since they were delivered at one of its first celebrations by its founder. ^[9] This also started the custom of wearing a carnation on Mother's Day. ^[5] The founder, Anna Jarvis, chose the carnation because it was the favorite flower of her mother.^[10] In part due to the shortage of white carnations, and in part due to the efforts to expand the sales of more types of flowers in Mother's Day, the florists promoted wearing a red carnation if your mother was living, and a white one if was dead; this was tirelessly promoted until it made its way into the popular observations at churches.^[11][5]

In May 2008, the US House of Representatives voted twice on a resolution commemorating Mother's Day^[12][13], the first one being unanimous so that all congressmen would be on record showing support for Mother's Day

Even My Mom didn't know about the Carnation Flowers and she said maybe we can plant some of those if I can help to dig the holes!
That actually sounds like fun as long as they don't have to go to deepl   And it is pretty interesting about West Virginia being the first State to officialy declare the Special Day.  West Virginia is our next door neighbor and isn't very far from our home.     

And because my Mouse said he didn't mind being a little late for his Brunch, since he wanted me to find some good facts for Mom's Everywhere, we found A Great Web Site for Mother's   When you go here you can find out all kinds of interesting facts including a whole list of very famous Mom's, like this one, who we admire very much.

                                                                       

My Mom says that if everyone in the world could think like Mother Teresa and get a really good whiff of Puppy Breath on a regular basis, the world would be a better place.
