How to Go All Out for Mom on Mother's Day
Go all out to honor the woman who gave you life. Get online or pick up the telephone and arrange a fabulous day for your mother.
Something Nearly Fanciful
Steps:
1. Buy airline tickets to a trendy port of call such as Miami or New Orleans.
2. Make reservations for a cruise.
3. Order a limousine service to whisk your mother to the airport.
4. Fill the limo with her favorite flowers and iced Champagne.
5. Wrap a string of pearls around the neck of the Champagne bottle.
6. Arrange for a limo to meet her upon arrival at the destination airport.
7. Have a suite reserved at a posh hotel.
8. Make sure the limo is available to take her to the cruise ship.
9. Tell the driver to stop at the city's fanciest store so that your mother can outfit herself properly for the cruise.
10. Wire her flowers daily while she's on her cruise.
11. Fly her home first-class.
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 Stepney Limousine Service
The Stepney Town Green, originally called Birdsey's Plain, after Joseph Birdsey who settled in the area around 1780, is in the heart of Upper Stepney and is the only green in Monroe owned and maintained by the town today. Originally the site of militia drills, the green quickly grew in size and importance during the nineteenth century, and in 1817 it was set aside as a "place of parade" for "publik use." This "parade" ground officially became Monroe's "second" town green. (The town at that point already had one green at Monroe Center, which was established in 1784 with land donated by Captain Joseph Moss and Nehemiah DeForest. Today that green is owned and maintained by the two churches that face it: Monroe Congregational Church and St. Peter's Episcopal Church.)
In 1839 the Stepney Methodist Church was built on Pepper Street. A decade later local Baptists constructed the Stepney Baptist Church on Main Street, which was a near duplicate of the Methodist Church directly across the road. Because of their structural similarities, the two were referred to as "sister churches," or the "twin churches," by those in the community. In 1973 the Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement acquired the former Stepney Methodist Church (which was relocated to Cutler's Farm Road) and transformed it into Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel, where the traditional Latin Mass is still celebrated today.
Presently the green is bordered by an antique store and other quaint retail shops, the two churches, and a cemetery where an apparition called the "White Lady" has often appeared. The Stepney Green is a piece of history nestled in Upper Stepney, which many residents feel should be preserved for generations to come.
