Happy Mother's Day to every MoM everywhere, and all those folks who should be worshiping their moms. Please, do not listen to her if she says she does not want anything for Mother’s Day Today is the day to honor Mom. Under no circumstances heed her protestations that she doesn’t need any gifts.

If you can and are able to, give your MoM a hug, or reach out to her and let your mother know how much you love and appreciate her. For my part, I'm sending lots of love to Mi Mama Margarita and to the other mothers in my life. My loving wife, and my daughters, as well as their mother who are the best moms in the West.

To all of you my readers, followers, subscribers and fellow bloggers, who include my kids that are also marvelous moms, I write these words to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day Weekend, as an expression of my love and appreciation.
