Mother's Day Weekend in Wisconsin 2013

The second Sunday in May (the 12th) is for many in the world Mother's Day. This is an appropriate time on the journey to give thanks and appreciation for all that Mother's do and have done, including those special Mothers that are no longer living. For some Moms this was their first Mother's Day living in Wisconsin. Share some time with us as we celebrate Mother's Day with a surprise visit from Bay Area based Laura Ann plus Ruth Grace's very first Mother's Day on the planet. Ruth hosted her first ever Mother's Day tea, a Little Free Library lending house was painted bright "Ruth's Best" purple (not kidding on the shade of purple), the Verona based "Rail to Trails" Military Ridge trail was hiked, and memories were made for the next generations. Thanks to Moms everywhere for all they do.

  • Farm land is easily observed while hiking/biking the trails.
  • Tunnels for passing under busy highways make the trails much safer for all ages.
