Wading Gulls Mothers Day Card by h2oWater

Mothers Day is just three weeks from this Sunday.  What are your plans? 
Sadly, I don't have any.  My wonderful mom is no longer with us, and the kids are all far away.  But we did have a wonderful visit with one of the kids last month, so I'm thinking of that as an early Mothers Day visit.

If you would like to find a special gift for your mom, here are several pages with some ideas for you.  I hope one of them will help:
