With Mother's Day coming up next weekend, I made a point to go to the post office today and mail off my mother's package. Sure it's another icky commercialized holiday, but celebrating mothers and grandmothers and ALL women who have contributed to our lives in maternal ways is important.
For one thing, without mothers-- we cease to exist. All of us. That's sort of important, now isn't it?
Three years ago, I put together a photo montage video to celebrate my grandmother on the occasion of her 90th birthday. It's important to remember:
In our family histories, we are connected to all the mothers who came before us.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom AND Grandma! Love you both a hundred million billion... !!!

Did you know that several films admitted into the National Film Registry are essentially home movies? [This fact surprised me.] Have you heard of Home Movie Day? The next one's October 20, 2012.
Home Movie Day is a celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held annually at many local venues worldwide. Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community, and to see their neighbors' in turn.
