What Do You Give Someone Who Has Everything?

Deciding what gift to give Mom for her birthday is not an easy task at this point in her life. The fact that her birthday is one month after Mother's Day does not help the situation. I gave her two summer outfits for Mother's Day. She recently asked me to pick up a new dictionary for her. She likes to do the crossword puzzles in the newspaper. She watches the pundits talk about politics and sometimes reads a book written by one or two of them. We were discussing some of the "new" vocabulary words we were introduced to recently. She had me look up the definition of them and she quizzes me on them from time to time. I told her that some of the words would be good Scrabble words. We haven't played that game in quite some time. So, that's what I decided to get her for her birthday, the Super Scrabble game. It differs from the original game because the board is bigger and there are more letters to use. We will get my brother and his wife to play with us when they come to visit. I can't wait! Hope Mom is "up" for playing. Hope she likes her unusual birthday gift. After all, what do you give someone who has everything?
