Happy Mother's Day! Share your favorite Mom story

Scott, I would like to share my Mother's Day tulips with you and to the memory of your mom! Enjoy!

Scott, I just love your post. My father just passed away in March and I have been spending a lot of time with my mom. The other day I realized we both wait for someone to open the door for us. My husband does it for me and my dad did it for her. We laughed  at it and agreed to take turns. :) Losing a parent is never easy as I have recently learned. It is so nice to see how you have honored your mom by remembering her in the little things.

Scott - what a wonderful idea for a blog. Not that dad's don't deserve credit too, but I think most of us could identify a few ways our mom made a house into a "home". 

For me, it was when mom would paint one wall all white (in the family room or the den - or in the kitchen in one house) and we would use the wall as an outlet for our creativity.  We would only be allowed to use black markers and she would usually christen the wall by sketching a tree (her signature artwork) and then we would each draw a picture, or post a quote - and sign our names.  And then anyone coming over to visit would also be asked to sign the wall. Some of the artwork and quotes were legendary - and I'm really wishing we had been smart enough to take pictures of them all...

Thank you for encouraging us to share - and hoping the mom's in your life have a wonderful mother's day!

My sister and I grew up in South and North Carolina.  My father always had speed boats and I can remember very EARLY Sunday mornings with our mother frying chicken for our picnic on our boat(s).
