I feel it in my heart even from here, far away. We had a small family gathering in SF, early birthday for my boy, now 45 years young, with a nod to Mother's Day, and it too felt wonderful.

I remember rolling around my parents' backyard in the large box the new washing machine came in and had the best time ever. Even though I was about 21 nobody liked to mention it! And I think you're right about this pandemic making so many of us re-evaluate exactly what we want the future to look like - less busy, less running after money, more family time?

Agree with Steve, the chocolate faced Maggie with a blob on her royal frock sums up the whole get together. <br />Television did not treat southerners with any amount of respect- "if you want some one to sound like a dim bulb, slap on a southern accent using questionable grammar". and that is how it was done.

I'm so glad you all got together and had a great and meaningful time!<br /><br />I love the pic of Maggie with that blob of chocolate cake on her dress, and of course Levon with it all over his face! It's great to see everyone looking so happy and healthy.<br /><br />You know, those shows about Southerners WERE insulting, but I don't remember ever feeling insulted when I watched them. I guess I didn't feel like they applied to me, even though I'm a Southerner! (Did "Green Acres" take place in the South? They never really say, but Oliver keeps going back to NYC for business, so I kind of assumed it was in upstate NY or maybe Pennsylvania. But the people sure talked Southern.)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.com
