She especially wanted me to tell her mommy how much she loves her and appreciates all that she does for her: from the natural childbirth to the nursing to going back to work to support the family and playing and driving her around, mommy does so much and Sadie doesn't get to thank her enough!
In honor of the occasion, here is a big new album of Sadie pics!

Happy Mother's Day Ann!
Sadie, check out our Mother’s Day musical tribute to Frank Zappa and the MOTHERS OF INVENTION. My mother wouldn't let me play this music either.

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention warped my musical soul.
It was the heyday of the English music invasion and the beginnings of the psychedelic scene when I first heard the music of Frank Zappa. The Mothers of Invention 1966 debut album 'Freak Out' was filled with gritty doo-wop, dense ballads and searing political commentary that touched someplace deep inside. It was the 'Lumpy Gravy' series 'We're Only In It For The Money' that forever changed the way I listened to music though. With that album, Frank introduced me to polyrhythms, jazz, nob tweeling dub and very early renditions of 'trip hop' music. I was hooked for life.
Mothers Day is celebrated around the world. The day is used by children and husbands to honor mothers and grandmothers for all that they do in raising children. Some of us just play the music of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention all day.
Some historians claim that Mother’s Day originates from ancient spring festivals dedicated to maternal goddesses. Greeks honored Rhea, wife of Cronus and mother of the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology. Ancient Romans had a spring festival dedicated to Cybele, also a mother goddess. Called Hilaria, this celebration lasted for three days and included parades, games and masquerades.
A more modern version of Mother’s Day began in England around the 1600’s Mothering Sunday was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Small gifts were given, and a special dessert called a simnel cake was served.
In the United States, Mother’s Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe (famous for writing the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic). But it was a woman who was never a mother herself who led the campaign for national recognition of Mother’s Day.
