Happy Mom’s Day!

Big shout outs to those people who qualify me as mother, daughter, niece, or granddaughter, starting with my Mom—seen here at the Chinese Garden….

My first-born, Katie (also seen in the top picture!)….

The middle kiddle, Scott (and Rebecca!)….

The babester, Gollum, er, Erin….

Guess it's only fair to include an... ahem... better picture of Erin...

The snarler, Ernie….

The one and only GG!

And my cousins and Auntie…. Even thought Auntie’s no longer here on Earth with us, she’s somewhere (!) and I think of her a lot. Below is a great picture taken in mid-1955. That’s Auntie Georgia, GG, and Mom standing in front of GG and Grandpa Fred’s home in The Dalles. The little girls are my cousins, Kris and Janni. And the baby? It’s me!

Happy Mother’s Day to all women, for all women are mothers, whether the decide to give birth or not.

Many blessings, and a bit of motherly magick to you all….
