Photo Blog: Day 8

Today is Mother's Day, the day our culture celebrates all the wonderful things that our mothers have done, are doing, and will continue to do for us. While I am generally indifferent to most holidays, this is one of the few which makes a lot of sense to me. Since I visited my mother last weekend, my wife and I went to her parents' to celebrate today (don't worry, I still called my mother today).

One of the Great American Traditions (GAT) is to exchange gifts when celebrating with people. When we visit someone's new house, we always bring a present; when we greet a newborn child, we always bring a present; and when we visit for holidays, we always bring a present. This year, my wife and her two brothers went in together to buy her mother a Nook for Mother's Day. My wife and I bought one last year, and have found it both convenient and enjoyable. We think and hope that her mother will enjoy hers as much as we have enjoyed ours.
