We’re a happy family

My mother is recovering nicely from her knee surgery but she’s a little spacey when you talk to her because of all of the painkillers.

I offered to make her any dessert that she wanted and she said, “Make me purple ducks!”

Back in December, I was planning on making a bunch of different butter cookies for a Christmas party and a Hannukah party but I couldn’t find where I put my holiday cookie cutters. The only cookie cutter I could find was the duck, so I made hundreds of ducks. I don’t remember why I made them all purple. Now whenever anybody wants butter cookies, they ask for “purple ducks.”

So yesterday I brought my mom some purple ducks, and she was very happy. I think she was talking to them when I left.
