RB'S QUESTION OF THE DAY: May 7, 2011: IN HONOR OF MOTHER'S DAY: I believe all mothers are unique, and I'd like to invite each one of you to share one thing about your mother that you believe is or was unique...
IN HONOR OF MOTHER'S DAY:
I believe all mothers are unique, and I'd like to invite each one of you to share one thing about your mother that you believe is or was unique.
Our mother really enjoyed us seeing our Christmas stockings and Easter baskets. As we got older though, the enjoyment was short-lived as we tore into everything more quickly.
So to help make it last even longer, one year she hid them each in a different location and then she made "treasure maps" with clues in envelopes for us to follow throughout the house to find them. I recall there being only one rule, it was that if you stumbled across someone else's on your way to finding your own, you had to stay mum and let them find their own.
Now this was not only great fun, but it must have taken her hours to do - because there were six of us which meant she had to find six different "good" locations and draw up six different "good" treasure maps and maybe dozens of clues in envelopes hidden throughout the house. (Guess it was a good thing it's a BIG house.)
It was not only very enjoyable for us as we found and translated clues running through the house to find the next one, you could see the enjoyment it brought her light up her eyes. And it was a tradition we then did for years until she passed.

How about your mom?
With love.
God bless.
