Something Almost Practical

2. Show up at her home on Mother's Day in a new car and hand her the keys with a kiss.
3. Ask Mom if she's put off a major remodeling job. Hire a contractor to take care of it for her.
4. Have your favorite electronics shop deliver a complete home theater system.
5. Find out your mother's most fabulous jewelry wish - a Rolex, a marquis diamond, emerald earrings. Take her to brunch at a fancy restaurant and have the maitre d' deliver the jewels to her table.

Mothers want love and recognition more than they want material objects. The most expensive gift cannot replace a sincere declaration of devotion and appreciation.
Warnings:
Discreetly inquire of other family members before attempting to do anything major for your mother. Major surprises are sometimes unwelcome.

The scenic Town of Sherman, incorporated in Oct. 1802, is located in the Housatonic Valley at the northern end of Candlewood Lake. It'a a rural community of 23.4 square miles with a population, est., 3,827 (2000 Census). Sherman is the northernmost town in Fairfield County, accessed by state routes 39, 37 and 55.
Settling in New Fairfield, the Puritans established The New Fairfield Meeting with a meeting house in its center. The north seven miles of the town became well populated, and in 1744, its residents established their own North Meeting with the Congregational Church and schools.
The North Meeting petitioned the Connecticut General Assembly to be a separate town and in 1802, became Sherman, named for Roger Sherman, the only American to sign four important historical documents: The Continental Association of 1774, The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and The Federal Constitution.
Farming was the predominant occupation, along with mills for timber, shingles, cider and grain. Early Sherman had one church, one store, a doctor, and men who could build, bank , and deal in cattle and property sales.
Only after the flooding of Candlewood Lake in 1928, did the town begin to grow to new proportions.
