What to Buy Momma for Her Birthday


© Charlotte Spell

The weekend of the 24th of August is going to busy for me. It begins with my mother's 71st birthday on the 24th. My husband Robert's mother's family reunion is also this saturday in North Carolina. Sunday, the 26th we have to be back in Virginia Beach so that Robert can see his sons and celebrate his birthday. Then on monday my granddaughter Desiree is having her 8th birthday. She is having a pool party. My sister Wanda has her 45th birthday the same day. I don't have a problem figuring out what to buy my husband, my granddaughter or my sister. However, I do have a problem with what to get Momma?

What do you buy for a woman who already has everything. She has all of the different species of house plants and hanging plants and flowers around the outside of her house. Clothes, let me tell you this woman has enough clothes for three people. Knick knacks, her tables walls etc. are full of them. Pictures, she has picture albumns everywhere. Oh, did I mention that she has 6 kids and 20 grands and 8 great-grands and 2 on the way. So she has a lot of people to buy for her.

I know she likes country music but I don't know who is her favorite so I will have to consult the experts, her grandson's who don't ask me how always seem to end up with her taste in music. They are always on top of things when it comes to who she is listening to now. Me on the other hand are totally opposite than my mother and like classical music and to read a lot. My daughter picked up a lot of my love for the arts as did my sons. They are all writers and they love to read. Trish's favorites are the books by V.C. Andrews. She has been reading them since she was eleven or twelve. My father was the poet.:) He used to write love poems to my mother when they were courting, years ago.

So maybe I will buy her a country cd, that she can listen to when she is sitting in her lazy boy looking at all of the other birthday presents that our family has figured out and given her.

Happy Birthday Momma!
