So…have you done your Mother’s Day shopping yet? I always have a tough time finding just the right gift for my Mom…I want it to be sweet and meaningful, but she is really practical, so it needs to be useful, too. That’s a hard combo!!
And now that I have been a Mom myself for almost 11 years, I think I have a little insight into what NOT to buy for Mom…
1. Do not buy weight-loss or workout items unless Mom SPECIFICALLY asks for them. Mom doesn’t want to think about the size of her thighs at the Mother’s Day brunch.
2. Any clothing in sizes that are too large…see above.
3. Any small appliance. A new stand mixer isn’t going to encourage Mom to make chocolate chip cookies every day, if she normally cooks only twice a year. The only exception to this rule is the Roomba…because a robot that vacuums is the coolest thing ever!!!
The funniest gift my son ever gave me was when he was about 5 years old. Here’s how I imaging the thought process went: “My mommy loves Elvis…my mommy loves purses…so the perfect gift is an ELVIS PURSE!!!” This particular purse was brown wicker with wooden handles and a large Elvis applique on one side. (and it wasn’t even young Elvis!) I kept it for years, out of fear of hurting my son’s feelings. Last year, I thought, he’s 10 years old now, he won’t mind if I give up the notorious Elvis Purse that has been the King of my closet for 5 years. I attempted to donate it to a charity auction I’m involved in (seeing as though it was still new with the tags on). They said, “No thanks.”!! I finally sold it on ebay and gave the money to the kiddo. 
Have a great Mother’s Day and hug your Mom if you’re lucky enough to be with her on Sunday!!

Thanks for playing “Right back where we started from” by Maxine Nightengale! It’s great song for your format. I hope you play it more often.
I like the changes in the songs you play. It’s a better variety!

We lived in the Farmington area for three years and listened to your station all the time and loved it, we moved back to Kansas due to the poor economy and miss the area tremendously, but still listen to your station live on the computer whenever we are home. Keep up the good work you all do an outstanding job for the whole area! We miss listening to your station all the time!
