Mother's Day Weekend

Normally I don't like to stretch out holidays that are only supposed to be one day, but it was so much easier to visit Mom today than it would have been tomorrow, so off to NJ we went, her card and gift in hand. Fortunately she loved both, particularly the gift of a blanket that looked like a piece of matzoh. Very Mom! The weather cooperated as well, a bit windy here and there but near cloudless skies. The only hitch, as I dreaded, was the approach to the GW Bridge. I'd hoped traveling on Saturday would mitigate the horrid logjam, but such was not to be, it seemed to take around 45 minutes just to navigate that bit. Plus, the Yankees and Mets both lost, so meh. But the Mom bit was lovely. I don't know how many more Mother's Days I'll have to celebrate with her, so every one is precious now.
