Happy Mother's Day from Paraguay

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there. I hope that your children and husbands are treating you extra special today. You deserve it! 

Today is a very special day to celebrate what our mother's have done for us. They gave us birth, taught us to speak, walk, and many other things. Loved us, hugged us, protected us, and generally, kept us sheltered from many bad things. I appreciate and love my mother very much. She has always been there for me. So, Mom, have a great day and celebrate as if we were there.

Mother's Day, in Paraguay, is always celebrated on May 15th. This is also el Día de la Independencia (Independence Day). No one works on that day, and they spend time with their families. This will be our first Mother's Day in Paraguay, and we are looking forward to celebrating it as a family. The kids will not be in school. So, we will be able to celebrate as a family. If it doesn't rain, we will probably go to a park or soccer field and kick a ball around, have a picnic or grill out, and just enjoy time together.

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you take time to call your mom and wish her a Happy Mother's Day. 

Blessings to all,

Charley
