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!
