It was an ordinary day. Nah! Mother's Day is never an ordinary day...at least in our house it isn't ordinary. My dear wife Carol is the mother of our three children...Derek, Brynn and Tad. We named our first son Derek after the professional hockey player Derek Sanderson. My wife and I enjoyed professional hockey on TV and she loved the name Derek, so....now she will never forget him! Now, in case you don't recognize the name Brynn, it rhymes with SPIN and is a female name...at least in our house it is. I had a student in one of my Industrial Arts classes a few years before our daughter was born who was named Brynn, and both Carol and I fell in love with the name...hence the name given to our only daughter, Brynn Ann. And, our third child Paul Thadeus goes by the name of Tad since my father's name is Paul and we always got the two of them confused when talking about one of them. Paul Thadeus was named after his grandfather, Paul Henry. Mother's Day in our house means we usually gather as many of the family together to share a meal and talk about all the "Good Ole Days" when our children were born. Oh yeah...we usually watch the Phillies if they are on TV.....which they are today! Both my parents and my wife, Carol's parents are deceased, but we will still talk about them when the family gets together today. A few family members will be missing since they are traveling, but our villa at Woodcrest will be filled with fun and happiness today as we celebrate Mother's Day. Hope all you MOTHER'S will enjoy your day and have a chance to visit with your children and other relatives. Have to go now and prepare for the arrival of our family. I try to keep my wife away from work on Mother's Day, thus a day when I take charge in the kitchen. Gotta go now! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
