Sunday and it is fabulous..all the breakfast\u00a0goodies plus omelets made to order, a carving station\u00a0and what\u00a0sets it apart from all the others are all the homemade pastries. <a

because I came down with some type of cold and because Carole is traveling North to her Grandaughters College graduation I do not want to pass my cold on to her or anyone else I might come in contact with.\u00a0 I think many of us are melancholy today as Mother&#8217;s Day was always very special to many of us.\u00a0 I find it is times like this that I reflect on years gone by and wonder where have they gone,<a href=\"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/CCF05122013_00001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1641\"

from a little boy who could only scribble his name on the inside.\u00a0 He is now 16 years old and has a girlfriend that he will most likely be spending time with today, so even if I were around the corner from him I might get a hello, kiss on the cheek, goodbye and that is the way it should be, as life moves on.\u00a0 As Mothers and Grandmothers we had a job to do, to raise them up and send them out, and when we see them standing on their own two feet, and being successful with their jobs and marriages, what greater gift is that.\u00a0 We grew up and out too, and I think\u00a0our children are happy for us\u00a0that we have become successful retirees enjoying life to the fullest.\u00a0\u00a0 Again, Happy Mother&#8217;s Day.<a
