Weekend Assignment #58: Mothers and Children
John Scalzi, Blogfather to the AOL Journals community, had this to say about that:
"Welcome to the Weekend Assignment! This is the first of these we're doing with AIM Bloggers in the mix, so for their benefit, let me go over the idea of the weekend assignment:
Basically, I'll give you an idea for an entry here, and you go back to your blog or journal and write it up. And then you come back to this entry, and leave a link to the assignment on your blog here in the comment thread. Then, over the weekend, I'll highlight as many of the Weekend Assignment entries as possible here at By The Way -- and several will be highlighted on the AOL Journals Main Screen next week. It's a great way to explore other AIM Blogs and AOL Journals, and have other AIM Bloggers and AOL Journalers visit you as well."
Mother's Day is this Sunday, and we're welcoming AIM Bloggers to their very first Weekend Assignment, so for this week, we're going to do something sweet and simple:
Weekend Assignment #58: Post one of your favorite mother/child pictures.This could be a picture of you and your mother (at any age), or a picture of you with your children (again, at any age), or even one of your spouse and kids. But it should be a mother who is important to you personally.
(AIM Bloggers: Wondering how to add pictures to your Blog? Visit this entry, which tells you how.)
Extra Credit (this is an optional part of the assignment): Share a piece of fun trivia about your mom.

Sorry, no pictures extant of my mother and I, nor of me and my kids or their mother. Guess you'll have to settle for this photograph of my mother, spring of '63, Carmel, California. She was 39 at the time. In less than two years she would be dead. A light went out on this planet when that happened.
And so it goes...
P.S. She was one of the original hire stewardesses for Capital Airways flying out of Washington, D.C. after WWII. Capital was later sold to TWA.
Happy Mother's Day to mothers the world over - ya'all deserve a day off.
