We had a great weekend for mothers. Marci & Ryan were here along with Cammie & Erik (shown here in front with our family on Mt. LeConte) and their two children. Cammie was Marci's honor attendant in their wedding and Erik is Ryan's uncle and also in the wedding. They are the matchmakers who introduced Marci and Ryan to each other.Cammie is a new mother (Charlie is 8 weeks and Amelia is soon to be 3)
and Marci is hoping to be a mother soon, and I enjoyed having both my daughter and my "adopted" daughter here. We took in the Sewanee Arts & Crafts weekend and had a delicious lunch on Saturday at the Blue Chair, a delightful cafe with a mission - be sure to click on the Blue Monarch link to learn about their program.
Jimmy, Lisa and Will stayed in Chattanooga for the day, so we shared the day and greetings and hugs by cellphone.
A favorite quote:
Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that suppose to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing. ~Toni Morrison, Beloved, 1987
To all you mothers out there - keep the faith!!
