While in Utah, after my niece's wedding, my mother-in-law, Gloria took all her daughters and in-laws out to lunch to celebrate Mother's Day at the Maddux Steakhouse near Brigham City, Utah. I have missed this luncheon for the past 35 years! But this year - I was in town!!! They visit at lunch and then exchange small Mother's Day gifts with each other. It was fabulous. We had so much fun! Some of the gifts exchanged were: Seagull Book store gift cards, Chick-fil-a gift cards, gilded mirror for homes, chocolate covered strawberries, key chains, bud vases, large spoon rests, and body lotion from the Dead Sea in Israel.

We all gave Gloria the gift of Spring Cleaning. All the families including children descended on her home Saturday morning (before we went to lunch) and each family was assigned a room. We washed every wall, dusted, cleaned blinds, curtains, vaccuumed ... you name it. It happened. That way she didn't have to worry about it! Then - we went to lunch with her in the afternoon!
