Sweet Tea... and MIL's 'Midnight Rose'

I'm enjoying DH's home-made Minted Sweet Tea while I write this.  He makes the best Iced Sweet Tea in the world... or so our family and friends' say.  It is good.  My daughter makes iced tea a lot too, and hers is good... just a little different (maybe not as strong). But the first thing any of our kids want when they come home is Dad's tea.

So yes, DH is back from his trip to visit with his mom.  She is doing well, but he still makes us laugh with the stories he brings back. (I'm sure my kids will do the same). He also brought back her Royal Albert China Tea Service.  We had given her that years ago because she liked China and she and I liked to have 'tea' together.  And she's been *trying* to return it to me for several years. (I kept putting her off).  Anyway, I guess because DH was there alone, she got him to pack it up and take it to me... saying she has no use for it anymore and she wanted me to have it. It's beautiful and I love it... just wanted her to enjoy it a while longer.

She also returned the crystal water carafe and cup that we gave her. I doubt if she ever even used this.  But I thought it would be nice for her to keep water by her bedside.  So I will use both these things and think of her. (Hopefully my cats will allow the water carafe  to sit on my night table without getting too playful with it.)

And lastly for this post, I came across this cat cartoon the other day.  Can't remember where, but it made me laugh...




Now for it to be appropriate for me, it should have a bunch of nursing mama cats with their babies tagging along behind...


Happy Sunday!
