Oh,Linda! ,

in regards to you mother:

That all said, here's to all of our mom's who took care of our homes and to the musical legends who filled them with music to mark the memories.

and to my motherI said:

lol... well... she was ordered still in the outlying suburb on the forested fringe outside of Cleveland to clean DUST, MOLD, and MILDEW very vigorously, including walls (I never saw anyone else scrub walls with sponge, soap, and water before for just dust....., SURE - the Kitchen, etc, where you get debris on the walls.... but in the living room ? big house...huge job...once a week...Dad called this Draconian.

and Char !, amongst our otherwise instant-gratification generation, a contemporary who doth defy the stereotype ! BTW with that in mind Char ! , who apparently single-handedly carries on that great torch of cleaning SO thoroughly her home , for her family and herself, that she WASHES THE WALLS, as did our unusual mothers, Oh, Linda!, as follows, she hath said:

i've been known to wash the walls..and in between 'moppings' i wash my floors and two staircases on my hands and knees... i wash windows inside and out too!
lol

A toast, as you call for, Oh ,Linda,
! To our mothers, and our contemporary, Char ! Along with Oh, Linda!'s initial call for a toast, I concur as follows:

~ in keeping with the mutual call for an on-line virtual 'e-toast' (I just coined that term), we do, Oh,Linda! and I, hereby honoureth our mothers for their selfless cleaning dedication, and to Char, who may be our only contemporary who still goes to such "Draconian" great lengths of hard work for her home and hearth's health and well-being. Lets raise 'em, a clink-o-the-glasses, and a salubrious healthy quaff o' the O'Douls, Sam Adams, or Diet Pepsi in my case !
Here's to our mothers Oh, Linda!, and Char for doing this great deed !~Clink~

Congratulations, Char ! - for being one who still cares...
