Re: What's Mom getting for Mom's day?

My mom will get a visit from me. :D I figure that's good enough. :D <br /><br />No serious though, she has been wanting to see her daughter in law, well ex now but we still call her family, so I am flying her in from NY to see her. Will be picking her up Saturday night and then surprise mom on Sunday when we go down.<br /><br />Wife is getting 100 pink flamingos out in the yard with one great big one looking right at the door with a sign that says "I love you, happy mother's day"<br /><br />Then it's all to lunch.

Re: What's Mom getting for Mom's day?

My Mom is getting the knowledge that her neice just sold her great granfather's Swiss music box. Ya know, the ones that are on a stand and have golden bees ringing little golden bells. It played six different operatic airs. Some of my most treasured memories of my Grandfather's house are of standing on a stool watching the little bees play "La Donna Mobile". Great Grandfather brought it home from the Mediterranean in 1855 as a wedding present to his bride.<br /><br />Cousin sold it at auction for $13,000. <br /><br />Mom will turn many times in her grave. :(

My Mom is getting a Card and A Crepe Myrtle tree just like the one we planted for her only Grand Daughter. Its what she wants.<br /><br />The wife will be gettinga a card and Gift certificate to Home Depot. She has her eye on something for the house and has told every one she knows, "thats what I want for mothers day."<br /><br />Lot easier for me when they tell me. ;)

We took care of our Mom's this morning since they're both 2,000 miles away we had to get a jump on it.<br /><br />As long as I spend time with my daughter and her little ones I'm happy.

Some stuff from Hickory Farms - it is tough being creative 1/2 a world away!<br /><br />Wife will get a day out on the town - buffet dinner at a very exclusive restaurant in Accra and a card from the littlest aspeck, and one from me, too.

I apologize for the downer post, folks. It was just an event that broke my heart. :( <br /><br />My former wife is getting flowers and dinner with me and a bunch of descendants cooked by her grandson, the chef.

My Mom will be getting a fuchsia to hang on her front porch. I can't tell you what my wife is getting because she reads the iboats posts.
