Happy Mother's DAY!!!

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

~Washington Irving~

There is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child - and an instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own.

~Robert Brault~

Now, as always, the most automated appliance in a household is the mother.

~Beverly Jones~

She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn't take them along.
