    For the first time in 16 years, I actually called my mother to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. (We weren't talking for that long). This year my brother and I decided to get in contact with her again because he's getting married next year and wanted to invite her to the wedding.

    It was a great call and sure helped brighten my day (hearing how happy she was to hear from me).

    Well I called my mom and sent her a card from me and DFJ.... Both cards were mailed at the same time at the same drop off point. DFJ's card made it, but mine didn't. Dayuuum postal workers!!!! I sure hope she gets it tomorrow.

    As far as locally, I prepared dinner for DFJ's momma, his Grandmomma, and 3 of his aunts (all mothers) and a host of cousin's. Definitely had a full house here today.

    On the menu... Grilled Pork Chops (in Barbeque, Sweet and Sour, and Plain flavors), baked potatoes, corn, salad, hot rolls... DFJ's Aunt brought a 7-Up cake for dessert!

    Dinner was totally yummy... The GRILLMASTER has struck again!

    that is so awesome

    and speaking of having a brother.... here's a Mother's Day appropriate video that those of us with siblings might be able to relate to.

    For Mother's Day, I bought my wife a gift from the kids:

    A gym membership.

    Seriously.

    Long story, but it's all good. Happy M-Day to all you Moms out there...

    Oh it was....

    They were "lickin' their chops".... literally.

    And the serving plate came back bare (after they had seconds...)

    Nah.... I didn't make my own sauces (but my Dad used to back in the day), but he took his recipes for sauce to the grave with him.

    For the barbeque, I used Cattleman's BBQ sauce, and the Sweet and Sour was this "grilling sauce" I picked up at Sam's club. I forget the name of it... something like "Yashiko Sweet and Sour Sauce" or something like that.

    Either way, they were both yummy.

    Watch it there... you "corporate capitalist yes man go getter' creative post quoter".

    Besides... postal workers get better benefits than we do... so no, they aren't the same.

    Thanks. We had a shaky past, but I've now come to realize that I can't have another mother, and I'm willing to forgive her for how I was treated as a kid.
