<p>Mother’s Day is almost upon us. Okay loyal readers…don’t mess this up…please!&nbsp; This is arguably one of the most important events of the year. Yes, we’re talking about <strong>YOUR MOTHER</strong>…so please pay attention.</p> <p>If you are fortunate enough to have your mother nearby, take some time to make her feel special. If she is some distance from you, give her a call<strong>.&nbsp; If your mother is no longer with us, honor somebody else’s mother or a woman who had a strong influence in your life.</strong> (Don’t tell ol’ gpawn that you didn’t have a woman who was a strong influence in your life…that’s one of the few “virtually impossible” things &nbsp;in this world.) Here at Glendale Pawn &amp; Jewelry we believe that this holiday, <strong>while certainly about honoring the mothers of the world, is also a holiday to honor the women of the world.</strong> Let’s face it, procreation aspects aside, very few members of the human species would be viable human beings without the influence of women in our lives…and that is just a fact.</p><p><img src="http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8913/blogmdt.jpg" width="477" height="236" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></p> <p>So, we’re honoring mothers (and women) by having a Mother’s Day sale on gemstone jewelry. Most mothers enjoy jewelry and it’s really a wonderful way of saying…”<em>Thank you Mom…I know I wasn’t a perfect child and I’m really sorry about your garden…it seemed like a perfect place at the time to build a play fort…and although I’m WELL into the double-digit age range now, I really appreciate you for everything that you did…</em>”</p> <p><a href="http://www.arizonapawnshops.com/"></a></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;Here’s our Mother’s Day pick for a really nice and affordable Mother’s Day gift:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.arizonapawnshops.com/jewelry/absolutely-stunning"><img src="http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/1433/3376551.jpg" width="426" height="320" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You can't miss with this!</strong></p> <p>Now May is a busy month for holidays and the aforementioned Mother’s Day is a huge one.
