What should I get my mom for Mother's Day?
I asked myself this question again and again this year. Usually every year I get a gift for my mom and then take her and my aunt out for dinner. Every year I debate on the gift. She usually likes perfumes, flowers, clothes, as you can gather that can get old. This year I wondered if she would like a new cell phone? I had already given my mom a cell phone a while back, actually it was a hand me down of one of mine. However, it is a second line on my cell phone account. Anyway....
I've been contemplating upgrading my cellphone, so I figured why not upgrade hers as well? I decided to run the thought past her. I actually expected a luke-warm response or a reply similar to "I don't need a new phone, the one I have works fine". Nope! Not my mom. Her reply was "OOOh Yeah!" or more like "Hay SI!" She then went on to say...My friend so and so has one with a camera are those expensive?
The order has been placed and express shipment will bring our new phones in a matter of days! I somehow can't picture my mom snapping pictures and sending me text messages just yet. She is sure eager to delve into technology though! Who knows soon she may be wanting to join the blogosphere as well.

Hi Celikins,
Thanks for visting my blog, wilmette.blogspot.com. It was a pleasure to use your picture. I looked at dozens to try to find one that somehow captured the Chicago march. I really thought that the one I used that you took was absolutely terrific, the very, very best one that I have seen, and conveyed something I couldn't do in 1,000 words.
Your blog is also one of the few blogs that I found with someone of hispanic background writing about the immigration issue--I spent hours looking for some. You speak from a unique perspective that is very valuable. I hope more of the Mexican nationals who are working here will learn English and tell us their story, too. Pictures such as those that you take can also help tell their story--they are an important voice when there seems to be no voice at all.
Best,
Publia
