Betty, if you were going to extend it to Sgt. Pepper's dimensions I'd suggest to add Julia Bates. (Was there any mother to surpass her in quantity?)
RE: Happy Mother's Day - Laurie Verge - 05-09-2013 10:17 AM
Fill me in, please. I don't know anything about Julia Bates - how many children did she produce?
RE: Happy Mother's Day - Linda Anderson - 05-09-2013 10:24 AM
How about adding Mary Devlin who married Edwin Booth? She was the mother of Edwina.

17 (s-e-b-e-n-t-e-e-n!!) Now imagine for how long she had been pregnant.
(seventeen)

Let's not forget Izola Mills D'Arcy, the mother of Booth's daughter, Ogarita

Today is my daughter's 40th birthday. It took 2 1/2 days in labor to introduce her to the world. There is no way I would have gone through that experience another sixteen times! My hat is off to Julia.

Happy Birthday to Jen, Laurie!
OMG and to think I used to babysit her occasionally!! How old does that make ME!! HA!

Wasn't it a miracle to survive so many deliveries in those days? Just last week my best friend (even though her midwife was most experienced) has almost bleeded to death because she had insisted to deliver at home.

(OMG,that's embarrassing:...she almost bled to death, thanks rogerm!)
RE: Happy Mother's Day - Gene C - 05-09-2013 07:17 PM
I know I'm going to regret this, but what does RogerM have to do with your pregnant best friend and her home delivery?
RE: Happy Mother's Day - L Verge - 05-09-2013 08:09 PM
RogerM just did a little correcting of spelling for past tense.
RE: Happy Mother's Day - Eva Elisabeth - 05-10-2013 05:11 AM
Yes, Laurie, honi soit qui mal y pense, Gene! But reconsidering that Lincoln spelled "very" with double "r" almost throughout his life, what shall I say about my future options? (Please imagine a cheshire cat smile here...)
RE: Happy Mother's Day - J. Beckert - 05-11-2013 05:13 PM
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's here!
RE: Happy Mother's Day - L Verge - 05-11-2013 07:44 PM
Thank you, Joseph. Would you mind driving five hours to change another light bulb in my kitchen?
P.S. This is an inside joke that only Joe, Betty, and Wes will understand.
