Lawrence Welk

My mother's friend is a bit nutty yet sweet and is always wrangling bargains.  She has timeshare and is using a week to come here to the San Diego area.  She is actually going to be staying at the Lawrence Welk Resort which I have talked about before and is just 5 minutes from my house.  She won't be here for a year but is putting it all together now because she has to do everything super early in order to use all her points and mileage and stuff.  My mother asked me to contact her and see if I could help.  Her friend loves deals so I sent links to where they could by half price tickets to the theatre - both at Lawrence Welk and San Diego.  I also sent her a link to a local company that has all sorts of 2 for 1 promos which she loves.  And sent links to some really great places that have awesome happy hour specials.  With that one email she has since emailed me back 6 times -- now remember the trip is a year away.  I answered all her emails and it makes me feel good because I really do have an insider's view of San Diego now.  I guess I still think of myself as a New Englander but I really have learned a lot about this area.  But moreover I told my mother that her friend can email me as often as she wants and I will always respond because I know it makes my mother happy.  She has other friends that have come out to visit that I have helped and spent time with them too and it makes my mother proud.  She loves that her son is so friendly, welcoming and sincere.  It makes her feel good when her friends speak highly of me and in turn it makes me feel good that my mother feels good.  I really do adore my mother.  I am not a mommy's boy, seriously I am not, but I am grateful that I have the mother that I have.  Perhaps it is because we are so much a like.  Ultimately her happiness is very important to me.  I want her to have pride in her son.  With that being said I was over near the Lawrence Welk today so I took pictures and sent them to both my mother and her friend.  It is very pretty over there and the keep the place immaculate so here are the pics for you to see.
