Supposed to rain here this weekend, probably will have the kids over and grill something. Anyone else have plans?

No plans here on Mother's Day, but will celebrate several birthdays and Mother's Day the Sunday following. We will have a Mother Daughter banquet the night before Mother's Day and since we did the decorating for it will have to stay and gather up all the decorations, so will be too tired for fixing a meal for everyone on Mother's Day.

No plans for Sunday, but as Marilyn Sue just mentioned we are going to the "All Daughter's Banquet" tonight at the church. Used to be called The Mother Daughter Banquet but they wanted to include everyone this year who is or was a daughter.

VictorianGirl is a poster on www.hometalkentertainment.com. Go to Interior design forum. She posts every Mon what she bought the previous week. She had a very pretty table for Mom's Day and you could go back to see her Easter table too. And Mary, thank you for trying to get a pic for me. That was very thoughtful of you! And thanks, Luvs, Sandi and Mary. It had to be simple, in 5 min it looked like a war zone. I got the watering cans a few years ago in that store we had in town that I have spoke so often about...Dansk. They had great stuff, wonderful sales, and freq generous coupons!

Oh Gosh Mona, What a positon to be in! Our family went through something similiar years ago. Everyone gathered at Mom's house for every special day, didn't matter if she planned for us or not. Then we decided to split the holidays. Each of us took at least one day, it just isn't fair to expect one family member to do all the cooking, cleaning (what a chore!) and pay for it all. I would be tempted to make reservations for just yourself, dh and child. Tell the others, that you just can't do it all and deserve to have a day free from the hassles of cooking, cleaning, etc. Then ask each one what holiday they want to host. Good luck, it will be difficult at first, for the others to accept the fact that they won't get freebies anymore.

Mother's day will be Monday for me this time. DD's son and his DW are taking my DD to an annual Antique Show, which happens to fall on Mother's Day this year. DD has already given me a gift, a hanging basket of Devil Wing Begonia (red) which has gotten to be tradition now. On Monday she is taking me shopping for plants for my yard and a 3 tier plant rack on my front porch. We may or may not have lunch. We both would rather shop for plants than eat. :~) Sue

We can invite any women we wish to our banquet. Just try to let them know so they will know how much food to have fixed.

Think of us who will be working. I am a mother and will be working from 6;30 until about 2;30 cooking for all of the people who want to go out to eat. I don't know yet what we will be doing afterwards. We have a 3 m3at buffet with salad bar and dessert for 9.95. In a town of about 700 and we get really busy.

DH has asked me to cook lunch for his mother "because if we go to a restaurant the food will be mass produced and expensive". It seems to have escaped his notice that I am a mother too :-(

Our two local kids are coming down with their families. My older son turns 37 on Mother's Day, so we are taking him out to dinner at a fancy restaurant he has requested. He and his wife are cooking a brunch for us and his sister's family as his gift to me. I love it when he cooks, something he took up after he left home. Then our daughter will head home so that she will have the kids and SIL in bed at a decent hour before work and school the next day.

Forecast predicts that the rain will stop early sunday morning. I hope so. I'll be delivering some flowers to my mom. Then, my siblings and I are taking several mothers, including ours, to lunch.

Pianolady2008, wow, your mom is 97, how wonderful! I like Cracker Barrel too. I love the fact that breakfast is served all day.

No plans for Sunday, but going to Winnie to the flea market on Saturday with Tanya, my friend who is a squirrel rehabber.

We went out for brunch last weekend, knowing the crowds would be crazy. We'll do something additional on Sunday. I'm going to buy her the typical orchid corsage. Wish it wasn't white. Sure miss GranMrs (mom's mother).

Colleen. that is priceless and so true, I'm sure, although DH's mother is gone, after living 1 month shy of 100. We're getting together with DD# at the home of DD#2, after church.
