It's Mother's Day.
-
I consider myself lucky to have had a Leave It To Beaver-type mother. My mom got married in the 1950's and quit her job, (Because you couldn't be more than five months pregnant and work in the department store.) Dad built her a house, and she had two children. She was always there to meet the school bus, make supper, sort out neighborhood fights, help with school projects, and scoop out ice cream. She made all my Barbie clothes.
She didn't, however, run the vacuum with high heels and pearls. Instead, I learned from her that a dirty house is better for you because your body needs some germs around to build up your immune system. I live by that credo today.
