Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Thought this might be a fun topic. What would your perfect Mother's Day gift be from your children? I don't care about a tangible gift, but would love a card from each child and an opportunity for all of us to do something as a family, or time alone with each child to do something fun. This won't happen this year because our youngest is away. Ross told me he already called to see if he could come home, but he can't. Too many things going on that point towards his graduation in June. What would you love? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	lol Anne! Oh yes those little boys can rack up bills as good as little girls. I just love getting letters from my sons. Usually the DIL's have taken over that department, so I would say it would mean a lot to me to get a handwritten letter from each son telling me what a super duper Mom I am. Whaaat?..... Don't wake me...that was such a nice dream.

And not one of those where I buy the meat, marinate it, fix the side dishes, put the meat on the platter and take it out to the grill where the boys are sharing a beer and beating their chest, bonding....then they come in with the cook meat, I put everything on the table, we eat...I clean up the kitchen, then they tell all their friends and co-workers that they cooked for me on Mother's Day....I swear, it wears me out for THEM to COOK for ME. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I would love for my sons (BOTH SONS) and their families to get together for a meal and just laugh till out sides ache the way we use to. Not sure where Dave will be as he's on the road and not expecting to see Mark although that would make my day after his long absence. I will probably just get a phone call from David trucking down the highway...I sure do miss the old days.

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Hmmmm...my daughter always sends me card with a note of appreciation and it makes me cry each time. Even if we can't be together she always calls. Sometimes I'm so amazed that she thinks I was a good Mom. I was young (21) when she was born and so immature. I'm blessed. Hubby always takes me to dinner even though I'm not the Mom of his kids. This year I've already said that I would prefer a regular day with maybe a barbecue, but no expensive dinner. My expectations have lowered quite a bit with age and I don't tend to get too worked up over these days. _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett
