So I am someone that will at least TRY to practice what I preach, not just "do as I say, not as I do". For Mother's Day I gave the suggestion to take mom somewhere special to eat on a day other than Mother's Day itself to avoid crowds.

That is EXACTLY what my mom and I did. Even though I went to dinner with her on Mom's Day itself (I paid), it wasn't the "official" Mother's Day dinner. That was this past Friday night. I took my mom and my brother out to dinner at the place of her choosing - Hartville Kitchen. She loves their Roast Beef dinner! YUM! My brother had the Ham Steak, and I had chicken. Of course you must get dessert. She had Angel Food cake and Strawberries, while I had Chocolate Peanut Butter pie - one of my favorites there!! My brother skipped dessert...what was he thinking?!
