This upcoming Sunday is Mother’s Day (or Grandmother’s Day, or Aunt’s Day, or Sister or Sister-in-Law, Foster mom, Adopted Mom, or Significant Other, or Cousin, or Great Aunt, etc. whatever makes sense for your family).
In our family, Mother’s Day actually lasts the entire weekend. Which is lovely, and a little funny. Those of you who have been anywhere near me during my birthday month, now understand why my birthday lasts much longer than a day.
Over the last few years, she has decided that instead of gifts, she wants to give and receive experiences. I love this idea and so as I was preparing for the upcoming Mother’s Day weekend, I was looking forward to hearing about what we would be doing. Spa day? A day at Powell’s? A trip to the beach maybe?
Nope!
This year, we will be visiting the exotic, adventurous, and exclusive…
Mom’s Office.
My mom is a photo fanatic. She has been working on a picture project for the last several years to collect, preserve, and share family photos.
So Mother’s Weekend this year will be spent crowded around mom’s computer, sorting, editing, and otherwise fantastic-izing thousands of pictures.
Let’s wish them a happy day/weekend and thank them for putting up with the phase we went through when all we would do in pictures is stick out our tongues or give the thumbs up.
