Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Celebrate Mother's Day - Show Us Some Photos

 From Randy (my cousin) over at Genea-Musings:

it's Saturday Night 
time for more Genealogy Fun!!!


Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1)  Sunday, May 11th is Mother's Day in the USA. Let's celebrate by showing some of our photos with our mothers.

2) Extra credit: What do/did you call your mother during her life? What do/did your children call your mother?

3)  More extra credit: Have you written a biography or tribute to your mother? If so, please share a link if you have one.

4)  Share your photo(s) and answer the questions above on your own blog, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook or other social media post.  Please leave a link to your post on this blog post so readers can respond.

Here's mine:

Mom and me - about 1968 - right here
in Augusta in the back yard of our house 
on Heard Avenue.


Here are Mom and me, along with my beloved
nephew, Harry Jr (next to me), my niece, Missi, 
right in front of Mom and me and some family friends
enjoying vacation at Grandfather Mountain in
North Carolina.  I was probably about 11 or 12 years old
here - so about 1978-1979.

As far back as I can remember, I have called my mother "Mom."  I do come out with "Mother" now and again when I am annoyed.  My Daisy-dog and the cats have always called her "Grandma."  

I have not written a tribute to my mother yet, but I did a blog post about her career with the telephone company.  You can read it here:  Workday Wednesday: My mother's career with the telephone company.
