Mothers Day Traditions

Since my great paternal grandparents, the direct line of Troutbirders has produced 13 males and two females.  In the extended family of my generation I had 5 male cousins and one female. We had two sons.....

Mothers Day 2015 Mrs. T. and Lily on our deck. Mrs. T. refers to Lily as "my girl." Lily follows her everywhere.  The beautiful corsage was from Deanne our D.I.L. in Minnesota.  Our son Tony in Arizona sent his mom a pendant and a owl cushion...                On that particular day I broke my longstanding rule never to kiss lips that were kissed by dog lips......:-)

  3. I wonder what accounts for all the male descendants. At least your wife has one girl in the famiiy, even if she is a canine!

  9. Ah, but those lips that have touched the dog's lips are the most sensitive. Forget rules...long live love....and tolerance. :)

  11. You are a very wise man to kiss the lips of your lovely wife even if she had kissed the dog first. I love the corsage. I seldom see them these days. How nice that your DIL sent her one. I like the tradition of wearing a corsage. I doubt any of my children would even think of doing such a thing.

  12. I hope Mrs T enjoyed her day and I love that corsage. We don't see many of those these days. All we seem to do in the UK is send cards.

  14. Happy belated mother's day to Mrs T and a cyber hug for Lily. I'm not much into dog/cat kisses but don't mind them as much on the hand.

  15. Lily looks like a great companion for Mrs.T. I'm sure she felt special and well-loved on Mothers Day.

  18. Re your comments on my roses. Theresa Bugnet was a favorite of mine too. It was one of the first roses I ever bought and it grew and multiplied for years. Somehow, I managed to kill it or the drought did. Hopefully, I will find another in a nursery locally and add it to my gardens.
