HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, UVA FALLS

I just thought I would wish all you Mothers who read or post on Mickey's Place a Happy Mothers Day. It looks like it is going to be a bit dreary here in CH with some rain moving in a little later today so it could be a pretty wet Mothers Day here in CH. I forgot to mention yesterday that the annual Ft. Clifton Arts and Crafts Festival is this weekend, it seems to always rain at least one day during this event. Well I did make it up to UVA last night to see UVA play UNC and the Tar Heels came away with a 5-2 win over the Cavs. UNC is the #2 team in the country and they are very good, they hit the ball very well and have great pitching staff and they don't beat themselves. They should have a pretty good chance to make it to the College Baseball World Series this year. Down at the beach yesterday First Flight beat SW Onslow 9-3 to move on to the 2nd round of the NCHSAA where they will play Croatan on Tuesday at home, the Nighthawks are now 22-0. Kyle Busch won again last night at Darlington in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series, like him or not he is the hottest driver in Nascar right now. He also leads the point standings 79 over Jeff Burton and 134 over Dale Jr. I think dad might be right in the comments he made yesterday, I might just have to pull the plug on the blog or just night post something everyday, it just may not be worth the time put into it. The lack of participation is what bothers me the most, it just may not be worth it. The # of people who visit Mickey's Place is about the same every week, but most of the people who visit who can make comments is low. The future of Mickey's Place is up to you. MICKEY

What Is a Mother?

A mother can be almost any size or any age, but she won't admit to anything over thirty. A mother has soft hands and smells good. A mother likes new dresses, music, a clean house, her children's kisses, an automatic washer and Daddy.

A mother doesn't like having her children sick, muddy feet, temper tantrums, loud noise or bad report cards. A mother can read a thermometer (much to the amazement of Daddy) and like magic, can kiss a hurt away.

A mother can bake good cakes and pies but likes to see her children eat vegetables. A mother can stuff a fat baby into a snowsuit in seconds and can kiss sad little faces and make them smile.

A mother is underpaid, has long hours and gets very little rest. She worries too much about her children but she says she doesn't mind at all. And no matter how old her children are, she still likes to think of them as her little babies.

She is the guardian angel of the family, the queen, the tender hand of love. A mother is the best friend anyone ever had. A mother is love.
