Mother's Day 2014
We try to have as many siblings gather together on Mother's Day as possible.
This year we met (again) at Pizza Ranch. The buffet has enough variety for everyone, and we can get a room all our own so we can visit and catch up on the latest.
Gail, Keith, Denise, Rick with Mom.
Doug made his Apple Dumplings for Mom,
and after lunch delivered another batch to our adopted "Mom", Marie.

Doug has the best recipe for Apple Dumplings. I posted it previously, and I wanted to revive it again.
The most frequent comment when eating these is,
"These are the best Apple Dumplings I have ever eaten. Can I have the recipe?"
The answer is, "Yes!"
This recipe can be found at the following link from this blog:

Celebrating Mothers on this special day.

In 1908, Anna M. Jarvis campaigned for an official Mother’s Day in memory of her own mother, an activist and social worker who hoped that the contributions of mothers would someday be recognized. Anna Jarvis was determined to make her mother’s wish come true. She petitioned the superintendent of the church her mother had attended and on May 10, 1908, the first official Mother’s Day celebration took place at a church service in Grafton, West Virginia. Jarvis gave carnations—her mother’s favorite flower—to each mother at the service. Later Jarvis and her supporters lobbied for the creation of an official Mother’s Day. In 1914 her dream came true when President Wilson declared the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
