I’m off to see my grandmother in just a bit, which brings me right into the heart of May Madness.
In my combined family, May is the biggie. In this one month we celebrate:
My birthday – May 8
My sisters birthday (they are twins) – May 11
My sister-in-law’s birthday – May 21
Mother’s Day
On my side of the family, for many moons we’ve done one big combo Sunday, because so many events take place within just a few days. So we celebrate my birthday, my sisters’ birthday and mothI’m off to see my grandmother in just a bit, which brings me right into the heart of May Madness.

On my side of the family, for many moons we’ve done one big combo Sunday, because so many events take place within just a few days. So we celebrate my birthday, my sisters’ birthday and mother’s day (for my mom and my grandma). But because I was in Chicago last weekend, said celebration is today. It’s always a fun time. We get presents and cake and act like goofballs (at least me and my sisters do).
So to Alison, Lauren, Jill, Ferne, Sherry, Sarah, Bea — and me — happy birthday and happy mother’s day! And to anybody celebrating a birthday this month–and to everybody’s mom and grandma, too!
Enjoy these times together. It’s the joy that helps fuel who we are.
Till next time …
