What Sunbeam said makes a lot of sense. However, what everyone else has said also makes a lot of sense,
I personally think that Mother's Day is NOT a good day for a fish fry. Those members that still have their Mother surely would rather spend that day with their respective Mother. If mine were still alive, I would do everything possible to spend that special day with her. One really does not fully realize this until after his/her Mother is no longer with us. I thought I did until she was gone!!!!
While trying to set this date, we need to set a date for the Fall fish fry. If not, we'll go through this same routine....just like in the past.....
