Did You See Our Aprons?

Remember when I told you the aprons are coming?
Sunday, May 10th, is Mother's Day. In honor of Mother's Day, the staff of the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library decided to "tie one on" and wear their rather-old-timey aprons for three days to honor their mothers...the three days being Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Today several of us have on our special aprons.
Carolyn, who has a Campbell Soup-kind-of-kitchen, is wearing her Campbell Soup apron.
Jinx has on a lime green and white floral apron.
Elois's apron is a wine-colored cobbler's apron.
Several wore bib aprons: Ann's is a ruffled white one; Johnny's has red and white flowers with yellow bees; Aileen's is blue with red geraniums and her name embroidered across the top; and Norma has a red and tan and blue farm scene on hers.
How are you going to honor your mother this weekend?
Don't have any idea yet?
Why not stop by the library and see our aprons. They might give you an idea.
You could check out a book you think she might like to read. Or check out a DVD she'd enjoy watching and watch it with her. Or check out an audio book she might like to listen to as she drives to work or shopping or wherever.
If she doesn't go to the library, bring her in and show her the Genealogy Library, the reading area, the magazines and newspapers to read, the computers; then get her a library card.
Come by the library and see our aprons. Aprons give us all kinds of ideas about our loving mothers and grandmothers.
