It’s that day for honoring all the Moms in our lives with a great big Happy Mother’s Day, even when it falls on a rainy Springtime day in Oklahoma!
Here in the Rose District, there are plenty of folks dining out with family, including sidewalk lunches – since the rain has managed to hold off through the lunch hour. It’s a bit of good fortune that the Rooster Day activities did not enjoy.
We rolled through the Rooster here at the bookshop. Dustin and I did not know what to expect, since a year ago we were not serving lunches on Saturdays. While we have a system down for our offerings at noon, that doesn’t include the closing of Main Street and parking for a third of our service period.
Or the presence of corn dogs, funnel cakes, and Indian Tacos just down the block.
So, we had a limited menu offered (with an explanation) and it seemed to work out. We had folks in after the parade (and you know how Broken Arrow LOVES its Main Street parades…), and among the diners was my own mother and sisters. It was fun to be able to provide a pre-Mother’s Day luncheon for them.
Next year, we’ll know a little more about what to expect on Rooster Day.!
The fancy online weather radars are showing most of this afternoon’s heavy storms to be located down by the McAlester area, which means my MacTown friends are pretty well soaked by now. Quite a bit of rain fell on Pittsburg County on Saturday as well. And the saying is all about April showers…
Here’s hoping your Mother’s Day is everything it could be – and more! We’ll be cooking again tomorrow, so…
Come visit!
