Weekend Happenings: Fun, Walk & Run on the Mother of all Weekends
Happy Mother's Day weekend. Let's hear it for good old mom!
If you haven't already, make sure the first item on your weekend to-do list is getting a card or a gift for mom.
When my mother died in 1980, I learned a sad, but very real life lesson. You only get one mom and no one will ever love you like your mother.
So, make a fuss over your mom this weekend if you can. Cook her a nice dinner or take her out to a good restaurant. Many South Jersey restaurants have Mother's Day specials on Sunday brunch. And, don't forget to tell her how much you love her.
Here's a look at the South Jersey Weekend Happenings. Enjoy!
