While many people might assume that Mother's
Day is a holiday invented by the fine folks at
Hallmark, it's not so. The earliest Mother's Day
celebrations can be traced back to the spring cel
ebrations of ancient Greece, honoring Rhea, the
Mother of the Gods.
The Portland Observer wishes a very
happy Mother's Day 2008
To: all our families, friends and their mothers

Perfect Picnic Pointers:
Choose Your Spot — Before you start, remember that you've got to lug
everything to your picnic site.
Feed the Soul — For a truly relaxing experience, leave the charcoal and
lighter fluid at home. Instead, opt for the standard, no-fuss picnic fare that
can easily be prepared in advance.
Keep It Simple -- Remember that the foods you pick should be movable
and simple. Despite this constraint, the possibilities are endless.
Set the Mood — It's easy to create a special mood for your picnic with just
a few finishing touches. Start with what you want to sit on - for instance,
a red-and-white checked tablecloth.
Go All Out -- Surprise Mom with a special gift and hand-crafted card.
Wrap the flatware in a napkin and tie with a ribbon.
Pack the Essentials - Make sure you’re fully equipped for your adven
ture.
