Eppy 87 turned out to be one of our sunniest podcasts. If you are a faithful listener, you know that Mother's Day is a big deal for the Boomer Sibbleberries. (If you need a reminder: it's May 14 this year, in the USA). Laura does her special research and shares the history of Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis founded Mother's Day, but ended up hating the holiday. Well, thanks anyways, Anna, because we love it- and we have fun sharing our favorite parts of "Our Day". Do you like to find recognizable shapes in clouds? Do you remember how Laura has a thing for finding hearts in nature and objects? Well- there's a name for that! How about those 81 year old friends who decided to travel the world in 80 days? They experienced many adventures and we want to do that, too! Laura reports that she has had a life-changing event. She also has discovered Chap GPT and she still doesn't understand BitCoin. And she may want an emotional support bunny. Should Boomers be allowed to binge-watch tv during the day?And there's more! We love this episode, we love each other, and we love our listeners.Happy Mother's Day!
