A Mother’s Day mystery

This morning we woke up to find a Mom’s Day thank-you gift on our table (photo at left). Our cat denies having any part in it, but the sawdust on his feet makes me highly suspicious.

As told in the cartoon, he apparently tip-toed out while we were asleep, drew out his idea, used my tools to make a little present (wearing hearing protection like a good cat), and then slipped back in to the house. In true cat fashion, he left a mess in the garage for me to puzzle over-and clean up.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, and all the women in our lives who take such good care of us.
