Captain’s Log – Day 53

Captain’s Log – Day 53

Hello My Friends! Happy Happy Friday!

For those who have lost track of the days, I’d like to remind you that it is Mother’s Day Weekend. I’d love to hear your plans for celebrating Mother’s Day since we can’t celebrate the way we normally would.

Back in 2012, I took my mother down to the Cape to visit the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. It was such a beautiful day wandering around the gardens and checking out the old automobile museum and Norman Rockwell exhibit. I’m not sure what their schedule is like these days but it could be a fun way to celebrate Mom while having to practice social distancing. Here’s a link to their site if you’re interested in checking it out: https://heritagemuseumsandgardens.org/



 



 







Sadly, I haven’t been able to celebrate with my Mom since she passed away in 2015 so this is a tough weekend for me, my brother and so many others. The loss of your mother, no matter how old you are, changes your life forever. Your mother is your first and forever friend. You never get over the loss, but you learn to live with it somehow. She is never far away from your thoughts and she is always in your heart. Even though she is not physically here to celebrate with us, we still celebrate her because she is part of us and she deserves to be remembered every day and even more so on Mother’s Day.

I hope you are lucky enough to be able to celebrate with your Mom and all the woman who play a Mom role in your lives. We wouldn’t be here without them.
Take care, stay safe and have a Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!

  1. I'm so sorry your mother is no longer here for you to celebrate her!

    We had to celebrate with my mom and MIL from a social distance (6 feet). It was weird but good to be able to see them.

    BTW, your posts are only publishing in my feed on Bloglovin days after they are published, and then several at one time. Weird.

  2. Glad you were able to celebrate with your Mom and MIL at a safe distance. It's just so weird not being able to hug our loved ones. Not sure what's going on with Blogger. Things are a little glitchy on my end so I'm not sure if there are updates or something running on my page I need to fix. I used to get a notification when someone commented but I'm not getting those which is why my responses are delayed as well. I'll try to figure out what's going on and fix it. Just a few more things to add it to my list of projects to work on while in quarantine. Thanks for the feedback and info. Take care.
