Update on your Mother’s Day gift. It is all wonderful. What looked like a yelllow cloth in the foot goodies are socks. You put the rich cream on at night, then the socks so it soaks in. Granny just sent me a late b’day gift which was hand cream with yellow gloves-same routine so I look really cute going to bed. Specially when I do jazz hands for Dad.

Also the shower gel smells so good and unlike others I’ve tried, it doesn’t sting delicate areas. Hope your trip to Mexico goes well. Hi to Ricky.

Love,

MOM

Dear Tom -

I am full of Chinese Food – I haven’t had it in a long tme and in never tasted so good – thank you – a lovely Mother’s Day gift. I enjoyed it enormously.

I must tell you that when I called in my order, I no sooner gave my phone number than the girl said, “OH, your son has told us that he is paying for everything – what do you want?” So I ordered some vegetable fried rice, an order of egg rolls and some Shrimp Chow Mein. She said “What else?” I said, “That’s it.” her voice went up 1,000 decibles and she said, “BUT, YOUR SON IS PAYING FOR It~!!!!!” I explained that I lived alone and that what I ordered was just fine. Her disappointment was palpable – I think she expected that I would put in a supply for a year! People are funny.

You are very thoughtful – I will have a left-over lunch today – and I’ll think of you. Love, Mum

To my beautiful, wonderful children,
First of all, if I got all of your email addresses correct (by memory) I’m going to celebrate! Second: Mother’s Day is coming up soon, May 11, I think, and I just wanted to say that I don’t want any of you getting me anything. Even cards these days are getting expensive. I have everything I need or want, and if I don’t, I whine about it so that Dad will either buy it or tell me to be quiet. So if I just get a call from you either on or around Mother’s day I will be thrilled, and it will make me feel good that any $ you would have spent, you are spending it on something you want or need. Remember That!! Love, Mom

Julie ~ I’m planning on giving you $30 to help off set the cost of your gas to come down this weekend. I know weekend trips to come here are a burden on your finances as far as gas goes. So, there is no need for you to work Saturday just for gas money to come to my house, if you don’t want to. Anyways….just thought I’d let you know that.

Love, Mom

Dad says we’re picking you up at 4:15 @ your house for a 5;00 dinner. This is because (of course) everywhere is booked out for Mother’s Day Lunch. There’s a lesson in here, if we could only read it…..

Please still make it or I’ll have no-one to text during the meal….
