ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you Jan on Sunday and hoping as I'm sure you will have a wonderful day.
Interesting regarding your post on Mother's Day and my goodness that poor lady with all those children..
Wow, those facts are amazing. Imagine having 27 pregnancies and every single one was a multiple birth. Happy Mother's Day, I hope you have a lovely weekend. I'll be spending the day with my family tomorrow.
ReplyDelete...Jan, I hope that you will have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend!
I can't imagine being that age and having a second child. And wow, that Russian woman sure had a lot of multiple births and so many children to care for. I think that many multiple births must be unusual. And how to get to really know any of them with any depth? Have a wonderful mother's day Jan.
ReplyDeleteSweet words for your Mom...and Happy Mother's day to You!!

ReplyDeleteHere in Portugal, Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in May. Wonderful tribute to those who give infinite love, the Mothers.
ReplyDeleteI loved the flowers and the tender and beautiful poem.
Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mother's Day Jan!
ReplyDeleteThose stats are quite something.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's day!!!
ReplyDeleteWow those are some interesting facts, I can't imagine having kids that close or even worse that far apart, 60 is way too old for having kids. I can't imagine having 69 kids either, you would have to get help.
I must admit... I am shocked about #3. That poor woman.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Mother´s Day! Ours is soon, too, and I sure will think of mine...
Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day... and the best part is being with family on this day.
