Glad your Mother's Day is going well. I guess if I had to take a character from Sophocles it would be Theseus. But I really prefer Aeschylus.

well all back, here is what happened :D
We got there late, had spagetti for lunch, my uncel took alot of pics of the kids, the baby(who hates strangers) decided to run up to him with her arms open wide, and loved all over hi :Dthen we went outside to smoke, my brotherand husband started playing a game of football toss, and one wound up hitting me square in the back of the head....funny now but hurt like an SOB, then my mom and I played goalie catch,lol and chased the kids all over the yard, we finally left at 6 pm, so i am very tired

<font color=pink>Ah, I'm so full of food and wine and coffee. I love it when my dad throws his 'Adult Only Wine Tasting Parties' :D </font>

Did you mean to do that on purpose, Wellard? Or is the spell check getting even? :D

I usually try to put one post between 'em, myself...

LOL, Jen, I guess you are a happy camper, with the emphasis on the "happy." Have a good night, I'm bailing out. Can't keep my eyes open any longer.

<font color = lightgreen>Well...I haven't dropped by here in a dog's age. I see that someone accidentally rearranged my previously alphabetized coffee beans. Oh, well....

<font color = white>TJ</font>'s bio-father phoned the other day. What a waste of time and space he is, let me tell you. Anyway...that is a story for another day. (most of my stories are)

In the meantime, here I sit censoring what I type because the Guinness is having a little more effect than usual. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

Is Mothers day the same day all over the world? Gibraltar celebrated Mother's day some time in March. Little help please :D

Appearantly mothers day originated in the US and reoccurs every 2nd sunday of May. Something about a well-loved grandmother with many children and grandchildren dying then and the kiddos deciding they wanted to honour mothers everywhere from then on. I don't know how it spread though, because I wasn't there. So you'll just have to forgive me if I lack any details ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]

In any case, it should be the same date everywhere. I can imagine that you'd want to change the date if you're too busy to celebrate on the official day, but all of Gibraltar?
Are you using the same calendar as the rest of the world? ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anway 'humphhh" good morning everyone [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Nope I use the same calender as the rest of the world, it has 365 days in it and its been in the family for 30 years now, we haven't seen the need to replace it :D

Seriously though it is the official date in Gibraltar, perhaps its a conspiracy instigated to ake advantage of saps i9n Gib gullible enough to buy two Mothersday gifts. Hallmark is evil I tells ya ;)
