Wishing you a happy Mother’s Day!  I am always amazed at what you gals are able to accomplish.  I sure as heck could never do it — and a lot of you give yourselves way too little credit.  You put so much time, skill and patience into raising the little ones, all the while managing careers, studies, friends, finances, community commitments and (hopefully!) a little down time.  You set a great example to your guy friends!!  I hope your special day today was terrific!!

“Peasant Mother,” Fritz von Unde, 1894
