Mother?s Day

Mother?s Day is Sunday in case you have missed all the indicators.

Rita Vandersnick is, of course, happy to see her son Jim Shank and his wife Diane from Woodbury, Minn., anytime, but this week they came to give her the gift of their time for Mother?s Day.

?Isn?t this the most wonderful Mother?s Day gift?? Rita asked rhetorically. ?Jim is cleaning out the bird nests from the gutters, and Diane is planting flowers and shrubs around the house. This is just wonderful!?

If you are still pondering what to give Mom this year, how about giving her a gift of your time? Moms of all ages like a little help now and then, especially moms who are alone and may have a job that takes a little more muscle. Time is a valuable commodity, and everyone is busy, so most moms are reluctant to ask for help, making it an especially meaningful gift.
