Drum Roll for a most special arrival and announcement:

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

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

Now begin some of the most touching memories of Mom, Dad, and "Motherhood"

Jill's story stemmed from being a Mother

While John's reflected upon his 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..

 

3 hats will always be better than one!

Maggie's smile sums it up for us all!

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