Sat working at the computer here too. It is bitterly cold outside
today. I want a dry sunny day to do some weeding.

Me too, most of today anyway, arranging menus for Mother's Day and
putting more plants onto the web site etc. It seems to take forever and
I end up cross-eyed! And of course, the sun has come out just as it's
almost time to close for the day. The rain was very welcome though -
it's quite a while since we had enough to do real good.
In GB it is Mothering Sunday, a festival associated with the Church.
Mothers Day is a commercial festival invented in the USA

Our customers/fellow villagers/friends/children use a combination of both
those names. Mothering Sunday and Mother's Day are one and the same in
terms of those who observe them, whether they go to church or not. Does
the Church of England have a Fathering Sunday btw? We're always very
touched to see how many mothers, of all ages, come along with their loving
families to have lunch on 'their' day. So while their offspring are
obeying "Honour thy Mother", on which day are they expected to "Honour thy
Father" because in our experience and while we do special dishes for
Father's Day, too, there seems to be no church service that observes that
day. Or is there? If not, I wonder why. Do you know of such a service,
such a day in the Christian church's calendar?

With so many broken marriages and multi parented families, would it be a
'profitable' and viable thing to have a Father's Day? Think PROFIT.

Do many of today's children know who their Fathers are?

Kindest regards
