John's daughter, Jill, just flew in from Chicago, to join us for this special weekend

Drum Roll for a most special arrival and announcement

Now begins some of the most touching memories of Mom, Day, and Motherhood

Patte comes to the rescue and providing a hat for Jill that was accidentally left at home

While John's reflected upon his Mother

Jill's story stemmed from being a Mother

    The stories ran the gamut of the humorous anecdotes and one liners to those who fathers raised them when their Mother died young to those whose Mother experienced the trauma of divorce and pulled their daughters and themselves up from their bootstraps.

Brenda wrote:  "This is my favorite luncheon of all.  We mothers & daughters all have a story to share.  Some make us smile & laugh.  Some bring a tear to our eye.  We can learn from each one!

"Great Luncheon; great Ladies; great stories!

Time to start wrapping it up!

Maggie's smile sums it up for us all.

3 hats will always be better than one!

"Bye"...but only for now.  More good times are always on the horizon.
