Mother’s Day

This year we celebrate our Mothers on Sunday, May 10th. According to Wikipedia.org, the first Mother’s Day celebration was held in this country in 1908.

I’ll see my Mom later today. That’s my Dad (Dick Winters) and Mom (Gloria) in the picture above.

Who you would want to play your Mother in a movie. Here is what people said:

  1. Meryl Streep
  2. Sally Field
  3. Julia Roberts
  4. Jennifer Lopez
  5. Angelina Jolie

If I had to pick from that list, I would say Sally Field is probably the most like my Mother.

If you haven’t seen the video I did for Mother’s Day a few years ago — here it is. And yes, that is my Mother’s actual voice in the video…

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, interesting places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you laugh and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” This blog is where I share those discoveries. Some days you might learn something fascinating from history. Other days I’ll take you along on a road trip, share a weird story from Michigan’s past, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. No matter what, my goal is simple: keep things interesting!
