Why Mom's Day?

Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to ancient Greece to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods.

It is known that even in the 1600's in England, there were Mother's Day celebrations.  The working poor were given the day off to go visit their mothers. 

Julia Ward Howe first brought up the idea of Mother's Day in the U.S. but it wasn't until 1911 that then President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed the second Sunday in May, "Mother's Day!"

M - O - T - H - E - R

 "M" is for the million things she gave me,
 "O" means only that she's growing old,
 "T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
 "H" is for her heart of purest gold;
 "E" is for her eyes, with love-light
shining,
 "R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)


 

Here's a recipe to make for Mom...

Mother's Moon Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup chopped nuts

Directions:
1. Sift together flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and salt. Stir in condensed milk, vanilla and soft butter. Blend well and fold in chopped nuts. Chill well. 
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with foil. 
3. Roll the dough pencil thin and form in crescent shape. Arrange cookies on the cookie sheet. 
4. Bake on top rack of the oven for 12 minutes until set, do not brown. Let the cookies cool on pan. While still warm roll the cookies in leftover powdered sugar.

Enjoy!!!

Happy Mom's Day from all
