Get Out: Five Ideas for Your Weekend
This is special Mother's Day edition for Patch Readers.
Milton Berle once said, “If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” Mother’s Day weekend is a time to thank moms for somehow juggling it all. Maybe the special “mom” in your life is really your daughter, the grandmother who raised you, or maybe even your “mom” is actually your dad – in any case, it’s time to celebrate the nurturers of the world and Patch has some great suggestions for this very special weekend.
Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.
