This special day was created by Deborah Barnes – author, award winning blogger, and cat advocate in tribute to her cat, Mr. Jazz, who she had to say goodbye to on August 28, 2013. She shared the journey of letting him go in her book, “Purr Prints of the Heart: A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond,” a warm and heartfelt book that is written in the wise and comforting voice of Mr. Jazz himself as he shares his life and death journey to offer guidance and understanding through a cat’s perspective as to why sometimes letting a pet go can be the greatest gift you give them.

A special event page for Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day has been created on Facebook so that people can share blog post links, pictures, poems, favorite memories, etc.

NOT Wordless Wednsday - In Pursuit of Iced Tea!

 Back 5 years ago, when Mom made Beary Good Stuff for the Farm Markets, a huge seller was Bing Cherry Syrup. Mom used to make Iced Tea from it as samples so people could see what they could do with syrup besides put it on pancakes.. 

Why Cherry Syrup? Cherries are notoriously hard to make jam from. Sometimes the jam just won't set. 

Back in June, the Cherries were out and Mom bough a giant box to make Cherry Jam and the jam did not set. After a couple of weeks, Mom re-made it and it still would not set. It has been sitting in the pantry waiting for the weather to cool of so Mom can make syrup out of it. 

Fast forward to this week. 

Shoko and Kali at The Canadian Cats and da Phenny and Nellie at Easy's Blog are doing Iced Tea this month! Mom started thinking about how delicious that Cherry Iced Tea was, but it is too hot to make the whole batch of Cherry (NOT) Jam into syrup. 

So she dumped a jar into the blender and buzzed the heck out of it and a jar of water, then she put a coffee filter into a funnel and let the good stuff percolate through.

 

She also made some Stash Chai Tea and let them both sit for a couple of hours.

Mom then put about 1/3 of a cup of the cherry syrup into the glass, along with some of the frozen cherries that were not made into jam (they are for a cherry pie when we can use the oven after the heat wave).

She added a splash of lemon juice (the syrup is sweet), ice and filled up the glass with the cool tea.

YUM! This is the best iced tea in the world! 

 

Or that was what Mom said. I really was not interested in it. I thought she should have made Catnip Iced Tea.

Even though we are wordy, we are going to pawticipate in Wordless Wednesday at Comedy Plus! Make sure you click on the Button and visit Sandee. She runs Wordless Wednesday Central!
