Happy Mother's Day
My memory is not as good as it used to be, but � if I remember correctly � I was presented to Ms. Mary on the Mother�s Day her sons took her to dinner in the Grotto Room at an Italian restaurant in Stillwater, Minnesota. They also gave her a pretty gold necklace, but I make her keep that in her jewelry box when she isn�t wearing it.
It has been interesting to watch the family grow. Lately we have grown by leaps and bounds (and I don�t say that just because New Bunny and Easter Bunny joined the group). It was a relief to have Patriot Bear SIR come along to keep the rowdiness under control, and it was comforting to discover he and I have the same opinion regarding the attitudes and behaviors of the family members: If they don�t have a glint of mischief in at least one eye, then it is off to the doctor with them to find out what�s wrong with their innards.
Having been around for a while, I am starting to notice that my energy level is not as high as it once was and can�t always keep up with my enthusiasm level. My grandmother used to say, �Youth is wasted on the young.� She may have been right.
