Happy Mothers Day

Julia Ward Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation of 1870 The first North American Mother’s Day was conceptualized with Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation in 1870. Despite having penned The Battle Hymn of the Republic 12 years earlier, Howe had become so distraught by the death and carnage of the Civil War that she called on mothers to come together and protest what she saw as the futility of their sons killing the sons of other mothers. She called for an international Mother's Day celebrating peace and motherhood.   Mothers Day Buffet at Cedar Ridge Restaurant ~ May 8  11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Buffet includes: Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef, Baked Virginia Ham, Salmon Filets in a Lemon Butter Sauce, Assorted Vegetables, Potatoes and Rice, Soup and Salad Bar, Homemade Desserts $14.95 per person, Children 6 to 10 $7, Children 5 and under FREE Call 1-800-777-PLAY Traveling for Mother's Day?
