Something Almost Practical
Steps:
1. Think about your mother's dreams - imagine what she would do if money were no object.
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.
6. Indulge her with massage therapy, a sauna and a complete makeover.
7. Rent a limo and take her to the opera or ballet, topping off the evening with dinner at an exclusive restaurant.
Tips:
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.

Info for Southport Limousine Service
The Southport area of Fairfield, Connecticut (settled in 1639) has been designated as a historic district for its harbor, churches, public buildings, and the homesteads of some of the first families.
In the Eighteenth Century, Mill River village was a small hamlet (still part of Fairfield) of a few houses and a wharf at the mouth of Fairfield's Mill River. By 1831 the village had changed its name to Southport and was a bustling commercial area with warehouses, churches, schools, stores and elegant houses. Southport became a leading coastal port on Long Island Sound, its ships carrying produce and goods back and forth to New York City. A measure of its success is the fact that throughout the 1800s it possessed the only two banks in town. However, competition from steamboats and the railroad took its toll on prosperity. Resourceful shippers teamed with local farmers and businessmen to keep the port going; the Southport onion, a high quality onion was developed and grown on Fairfield's hills and shipped in Southport market boats, keeping the harbor profitable until the end of the century. Today, much of the old village area is part of an historic district, where buildings from three centuries are protected for future generations.
