Sadly, it’s been a while since we’ve had to send any Mother’s Day cards.
I lost my mom in 2014, the husband lost his a few years later in 2017.
But I fondly remember choosing pretty, heartfelt cards expressing love, thanks and gratitude for selfless maternal sacrifices.
Though by the looks of the recent advertising I’ve seen online?
Things have clearly changed since then.

Crabs?
If we’re wishing our mothers crabs…
.

And cat turds?
Things really have changed.
🤣

I don’t do shots anymore. But back when I did, they were just that… a single shot of a single alcohol. But these days every time I turn around someone is posting shot recipes with multiple ingredients. If it has more than one? It’s not a shot, it’s a mini cocktail.

That being said, where has Key Lime Liqueur been all my life? Yum.
When we lived in NC we took a neighbor’s child under wing. She had a single mother and a disabled brother and there was never enough time or money to let her enjoy the innocence of childhood so we stepped in with trips to the zoo, circus and beach. As well as emotional support, advice, a shoulder to cry on… and love. She was the daughter we never had and we love her still.
Every year she sends my husband a Father’s Day card and me a Mother’s Day card. This year I didn’t receive one and I admit it made me sad.
Until…

There’s no way to correctly segue from a surrogate mother’s love to this…

But it popped up my FB feed and I had to do a double take.
😳

It might be tasty, but I can’t say I like the name.
🥴
Now that I’m prominently displaying the family silver in the open air, polishing is taking up a lot of time. I’m always looking for shortcuts but don’t want to damage my antiques.
Has anyone ever tried this?
I saw the video and it looked too good to be true…

Magic?
If you’ve tried it and it’s safe, let me know.

Today is Mother’s Day and Lord Dudley Mountcatten marked the occasion by doing absolutely nothing. He didn’t hack me up a hairball, he didn’t push his food bowl my way… he didn’t even drop a dead mouse at my feet. What a slacker!
.
.
I mean really, would it have killed him to order me a box of cocktail chocolates?
.
.
No, it would not. The lazy sod sleeps on the keyboard for heaven’s sake… and don’t tell me he doesn’t have thumbs. Those paws are more dexterous than you think.
.

(Don’t laugh, kitty mothers count.) Come on Dudley… River needs a chocolate covered margarita.
.

See? This cat made breakfast…. I don’t think I’m being at all unreasonable.

River's world.....
