MAMA DID WHAT?
Oh, boy, mama’s done it now. She sent out invitations to her vernissage to an email group, mostly friends in the USA, but there were some French friends in there too, and she mistakenly sent out the wording that she used to send an invitation to the MAYOR OF PORT-VENDRES, where the vernissage will take place! So everyone received a very formal and pleasant email saying something to the effect that she and her partner, Anne, with whom she is exhibiting, are so pleased that the mayor aided in having this exhibit and made it possible to show their works, etc., etc., etc! So everyone who got the invite probably thought she was out of her mind for thanking THEM for the privilege of showing her stuff! Oh, boy…
So then she sent out another one in ENGLISH to say that she had goofed but that she hoped everyone would be there who could, at least in spirit. The funny thing is that everyone who has responded has said, Oh, what a nice invitation, and didn’t even seem bothered that they were being thanked for being an enabler!!!
But when you think about it, friends DO enable friends to do their best and are inspiration for work and creativity and so in many ways, mama’s friends DID “help” her have this expo with Anne, who helped more than anyone (along with Jean-Luc, who wrote the sentences that were heard round the world, haha). Without Anne, there would be no expo!
I think mama had stayed up too late trying to get her copy of the artwork the right size for the invite and things started looking a big wobbly around midnight while she was burning oil, whatever that means.
That happens to me, too. I think and think and work on my inner creativity so long that the hours pass by and I’m in a daze and I almost forget that it’s DINNER TIME!
Which it IS, RIGHT NOW!

I did something similar recently.
When our humans make mistakes, friends are kind enough to ignore them. Love the photo with your tongue! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
Yes, and boy do we make mistakes around HERE! Uh, oh, mama heard that…
I agree with you
Oh Loulou, I hope you & your momma don’t miss any meals. Food is the fuel that will keep your creative juices flowing, sweet lady cat! Mew Mew!
HEY, I’M THE ONE AROUND HERE WORRYING ABOUT MISSING FOOD!!! My mama never misses a meal (and neither do I, but…) and I have to admit, she’s pretty good at timing mine.
Ooops! I love the mistakes that work out OK for all concerned, just means we can have a giggle, or a purr in my case, and learn from it. One thing peeps need to do, is learn not to do too much, and use time wisely…. like getting me my tea. MOL
Have a lovely week.
Purrs, ERin
YES, Tea Time is the MOST important time of the day!!!
LOL – And the show hasn’t even started!!! I’m giggling already just imagining the misadventures our mommas are going to be getting into!! And really, friends are our “encouragers” in life and, Loulou, just between us, they’re going to have a blast with this expo – even if nobody buys anything (ugh, i can see my kibble quality diminishing if that happens) – and our papas will be amused by it all. And that’s what life is about – friendship, support – and fun!!! So maybe those invites were (sort of, hehheh) right on target after all!!!
Mama must have been in outer space, which is where she resides lately. Yesterday she spilled a whole box of spaghetti on the floor. I thought we were playing Pick Up Sticks, haha.
I did something similar recently. I didn’t realize I needed to go into an online invitation to change the words so I invited my Mom, niece and sister to brunch but it said another host’s name and location.:)
Oh, misery LOVES company. So funny, Ellen!
I get super wonky when I don’t get enough sleep!
Have a wonderful Sunday…
Noodle and crew
But how much is enough??? It’s LOTS, to me.
How exciting that your mama is having an exhibit of her art. Are you invited, Loulou?
You would not catch me in the rooms with 50 people if you PAID ME IN STEAK!!!
“Dance as if no one was watching. E-Mail as if it will be subpoenaed.” Be extra careful before hitting “reply all.”
At least it was a nice, formal invite ! Nothing to be embarrassed about in that.
Thank you for your support…these things happen but mama was really worried.
Creative and fun blog!
Thank you but Jan is having trouble leaving comments. Seems they disappear!
oh dear these things happen when the peeps don’t get the allotted sleep,xx Speedy
Happens to ME, TOO!zzzzzz
