A Day of Two's

"Arise, all women who have hearts!"

Spent a wonderful Mother's Day/Birthday with my daughter on Sunday. She treated me to a delicious brunch at Canela Bistro & Wine Bar, (a cute little Spanish restaurant in San Francisco specializing in Tapas). She even gave me TWO cards! (she also gave me the picture of us below) She knows a little about celebrating TWO occasions on one day as her birthday is Dec 27 and for her whole life has been subjected to Happy Birthday/Merry Christmas. I only have the double whammy every 7 years.

BTW - Costa Rica celebrates Mother's Day in August, so I will get to celebrate TWO times this year.

The Original Mother's Day Proclamation

In the United States, the origins of the official holiday go back to 1870, when Julia Ward Howe – an abolitionist best remembered as the poet who wrote “Battle Hymn of the Republic” – worked to establish a Mother’s Peace Day. Howe dedicated the celebration to the eradication of war, and organized festivities in Boston for years. More
