[Wendy]

In honor of Mother's day ....below is a view of some of the richest Moms across the globe according to Forbes magazine.

<span style="font-style: italic">One day one day ... **sigh** </span>


<span style="font-weight: bold">Christy Walton worth 22.5 billion</span>


55. Widowed, 1 child
Became a billionaire in 2005 when her late husband John, second son of Wal-Mart Stores founder Sam Walton, died when his ultralight aircraft crashed. She is the richest of the Waltons thanks to John's early bet on alternative energy firm First Solar

<span style="font-weight: bold">Liliane Bettencourt worth $20 billion</span>


87. Widowed, 1 child
Makeup heiress inherited fortune from her father, the founder of cosmetic giant L'Oreal. Europe's richest mom is not on speaking terms with her only daughter, Francoise Bettencourt-Meyer. Daughter claims Francoise-Marie Banier, 61, a well-known photographer, writer and painter Liliane befriended, took advantage of her mother, who became a widow in 2007. Last year Bettencourt-Meyers petitioned courts to investigate reported $1.4 billion worth of cash and gifts that her mother allegedly gave Banier. Liliane denies all; has been ordered to undergo psychological testing before a July trial.

I have no gifts to bring pa rum pa p-u-m p-u-m to the thread this morning so I'll keep it simple.

Happy Mother's Day. You are fortunate indeed to have some crumbsnatchers to call your own. I hope they appreciate you, and you have a wonderful day doing whatever you wish tomorrow.
