I want to Share my Mother's Day Present with RWOP
Started by wendy gonzalez on May 6, 2010
My son is a full-time college student, there-by making him pretty broke, so I never want my kids to get me anything for the holidays. I have always appreciated gifts from the heart, as this is what I have alway given to my family. For example, my mom was orphaned by age 11, so anytime a special occasion comes up, I restore another old damaged photo of her family from before the 1940's (I do this for my father also). I just think it means more, and it really doesn't cost me anything.
So my usual request for Mother's day or Birthdays is usually, Clean the house for me on those days (not much to ask for given there are 365 days in a year). Well, my son Edgar Jr. is a talented musician as well, and has been known to write, perform and record his songs in a day. Here is his latest song dedicated to me for Mother's Day about S'Mores, which I thought was perfect for this forum of Food Loving Ladies, so Enjoy. P.S. ladies, he is for hire as long as I give him gas money to travel, hahaha. http://www.youtube.com/user/nyoricn#p/a/u/0/r63bKY5vVZI
Here is his band and music pages: http://www.myspace.com/edgargonzalezjr http://www.reverbnation.com/boxes
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for sharing with us. What fun...Such a sweet son, and a sweet idea...a Mother's Day gift that you can enjoy for years to come!

Thanks Grandma Miller, he's pretty cool and he say's when he becomes a "SuperStar" he'll buy me a mansion. Sounds like a good trade off if you ask me. : )
Awesome, Wendy! My oldest daughter is a Music Education major..got a huge scholarship for vocals..plays violin as well! Would someone please call her and tell her to do a video for ME????
HAHA
He could whip some behinds on American Idol, Wendy.
I know Donna, Idol is coming to Orlando in July, so let's see. That's funny about your daughter, don't you know how to shame her into doing things for you yet? I'll make a how-to video about that, hahaha. My younger son is also pursuing a degree in Music Education, he plays drums, real good and loud.
I played percussion in high school! I was a snare drummer in the marching band. I have a set here that I'm going to sell soon.
How old is your son? My daughter will be 20 this summer. Maybe we should send them together to audition!!!! My mother-in-law lives in Florida..could be an excuse to start a Philly Party..
Greg,
Call American Idol and see if you can set that a Real Women of Philadelphia stand outside of where the audition is!!! ;) We'll call Nana and get everyone to meet us there....
Edgar Jr, is 22, and Michael is 19. My tip for Idol auditions, is to go the 2nd day where there is no waiting at all. The first day kids line up and sleep outside the night before, and it is hot as you know what here in July, so I would avoid 1st day.
Wendy, I hope your dreams come true, and that your son becomes a Super Star and buys you that mansion.
Donna, I think you should tell your daughter that you've thought of a wonderful Mother's Day gift that will cost nothing but a little time, and would bring you immense joy.
If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it is that you have to tell people what you are thinking, or they will never figure it out. I love my husband dearly, but I can't allow him to select a gift for me. If you could see some of the things he has purchased for me over the years, you would wonder "What was he thinking?!! When I see something I like, I buy it, bring it home, and tell my husband "That's what I want for Christmas". By the time Christmas comes around, I've usually forgotten what I bought, so it is a surprize. The really good part is that I am never disappointed!!
It would be really cool if Donna comes down to Florida, and both of your kids audition for American Idol. If that happens, we can have a Philly Party, and see who else in the area would want to join us. What do you think Nana?
Wendy,
My daughter is on the phone. Her computer isn't working right, so I was playing Edgar's video over the phone to her.
HAHA..I put her on a guilt trip last night, "Katie, why don't you make a song for ME???"
"What, Mom? I can't hear you. My cell phone is breaking up! Call you tomorrow!"
PULLLL- EASSSEEE
