"To Mom" by Tania

Here's Tania:

Journaling:
Mom was always such a hard person to buy gifts for.  She never got too excited about any one thing other than playing Bingo or eating Chinese food—oh, and watching her Nascar races. And she got much more joy out of giving rather than receiving.  But, if I was buying for her this year, I think I would follow the “something she wants, something she needs, something to wear and something to read” guideline.  Except that I don’t have a clue what she’d want.  So instead I’d make up for it by taking her out to play BINGO, and keep my fingers crossed that she’d win big!

It's so hard to shop for the person who gives the best gifts ... my aunt was the same way. I like those gift guidelines though - very cute!
