The Shout-Out Sunday web site for today, May 11, 2014, is:

Famous Mothers - Mother's Day History

Lots of good reading in this site. If you enjoy history, like I do, I think you'll find some good things to read in here.



Here is something you might like, all about "Mothering Sunday" as opposed to our "Mother's Day" here in the US:

Mothering Sunday 2014 - Mother's Day UK

...and a recipe for making Simnel Cake which is a tradition in the UK on Mothering Sunday.

Click on this link for some interesting "mother" quotations:

"But kids don't stay with you if you do it right. It's the one job where, the better you are, the more surely you won't be needed in the long run." -- Barbara Kingsolver

Here's another quote I quite like too:

"Spend at least one Mother's Day with your respective mothers before you decide on marriage. If a man gives his mother a gift certificate for a flu shot, dump him." -- Erma Bombeck

There's always room for humor in any subject of conversation!

Famous Mothers and Daughters in History

There is quite a large collection of articles and ideas in this expansive web site. I know you don't all have the time to sit and browse through it all, but it's here when or if you want to come back later... or just save it somewhere.

Notable Women

The link above is fabulous. I could get lost in there for the rest of this year if allowed to...



Happy Mother's Day, my friends.

"I can never read all the books I want;
I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want.
I can never train myself in all the skills I want.
And why do I want?
I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.
And I am horribly limited."
~Sylvia Plath~
