Time for Yourself

Good morning.  It's Tuesday and time for another Teapot Tuesday card.   Here is the story -

This week our destination is Austin, Texas. If you would like a destination for your card this week, how about sending them to the mother of fellow teapotter/SCSer, Lydia (Understandblue). I am sure you all know who Lydia is, she is the one that is running around the world of SCS day in and day out, all day long, answering this and answering that, welcoming here and welcoming there, fixing this and fixing that! She's the Website Manager, a big job!

Lydia's mother, Virginia, recently broke her femur just underneath the hip joint, thank goodness it was not her hip! She had pretty debilitating arthritis prior to that and hadn't really been mobile prior to the injury, so recovery has been brutal. They are trying to get her to stand/walk etc. and she just wasn't even doing that before the injury! So, she has a very long road ahead. She's got a rod down inside the femur and a bunch of screws and plates! So much for getting through security checks at the airport!

 The Challenge:

We gotta bring Lizzy back to reality, royal reality! I'm thinking sophisticated, educated, cultivated, worldly, cosmopolitan, well mannered, sheer elegance! A young sophisticated socialite in the form of a cat! Bring cats that are all that! None with a tat! Bring crowns, bring jewels, don't bring fools! Bring cats with looks, bring books, books, books! Fine dine and wine, Elizabeth must shine! Cats purring on a lap, not purring some rap! Bring Lady Di hats, no chasing of rats! It's important, a must! The Catsle or bust! We need a good rating, Camille, the next Lady in Waiting!


I didn't have any bling, but I did have lots of books and a little kitty.
