Just starting with Mother's Day weekend staring you down? You've either procrastinated or been stumped for the perfect gift.

Too late for online ordering.

Fret not because we have a few ideas priced from budget friendly to feeling guilty.

This photo was taken of reader Sandra Johnston Carringer, center, with her mother, Katie Johnston, and sister, Mary Lou Johnston Wolfe, in 1960 while her mother prepares a Red Velevet Cake.

We collected several lovely stories and photos from readers throughout the state and even though we were not able to get them all into print, we were able to share the photos online. Check out our photo gallery for some great nostalgic images and food memories.

Greg's Hot List: Mother's Day

Greg’s Hot List: Mother’s Day brunch

Treat Mom to brunch at one of these restaurants, and she’s sure to know how much you appreciate all those times she cooked for you. One caveat, though: Area universities traditionally schedule graduation weekend to coincide with Mother’s Day, so many of the best restaurants fill up fast. It’s a good idea to get reservations as soon as possible.

Auction of tee times will help turfgrass research

Submitted by teribb on 04/08/2010 - 00:50

In what is very accurately called a grassroots effort, more than 1,000
tee times are up for public bid, giving recreational golfers in the
Carolinas a chance to play some elite private courses.

The foursome rounds - which can make great Father's Day or Mother's Day gifts - are being auctioned at Rounds4Research.com.

The purpose of the April 7-21 auction is to raise money for golf
turfgrass research, which includes outstanding research programs at
N.C. State and Clemson, according to an event news release.
