Mother had ordered her children's Christmas gifts and they arrived after she died. Not another bloody Labrador dog calendar. If we don't get a better one, we will use it. Quality tea towels would have been better. They are very localised calendars and so quite useful. I'm sure at times in 2024 I will look at the calendar and think of Mum.

ReplyDeleteYou'll think of her a lot. My mum died in 1986 and I still talk and think of her. But I bet if you had asked your mum for quality tea towels, they would have been Labrador dog quality tea towels.
ReplyDeleteDo use it and keep the pages. I don't do Xmas celebrations, but I do go out for daily day trips in the heat as a tradition. Also photographing house light up at night.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Mum she must have been. I think any kind of dog calendar is a wonderful present. I always get one of Darren and Phillip Staffy boys calendars for my drag queen loving granddaughter . Proceeds go to dog rescues.

That's pretty darn cool. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will look at that calendar and think of her. Often.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice enough calendar. I'm sure you will think of your mum every time you look at it. I have ordered one with sugar skulls on it.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs are gorgeous. Of course you will look at it and it will remind you as you say. Lovely to think that she thought of you all before she passed so you will receive a Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a reminder.
ReplyDeleteIf I had your address I would send you a calendar. Or maybe a tea towel.
ReplyDeleteYour eyes will leak a bit over 2024 as you look at that calendar.

ReplyDeleteKeep the calendar, Golden Retrievers are the best dogs and it is also the last Christmas gift you will get from your mum.
ReplyDeleteSweet, though you don't need a reminder to remember your mother.
ReplyDeleteWhen you still have it in 2034, it will still remind you of her.
ReplyDeleteIn memory of your mother, you should acquire a guide dog calendar every year from now on. It is what she would have wanted.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a sweet thing. The idea of it brought tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteHer buying it probably benefitted a guide dog organization, I'm guessing? So that's part of the gift, too!
ReplyDeleteI like this notion. :D
DeleteCorrect.
