A bit saccharine?

Even more so if meant for personal rather than public consumption, too
sweet for my taste, but i am familiar with the recipe. I get a lot of
it on certain holidays and b'days.

For some reason, Mater does not like the day. Used to tolerate us as
children making a big deal of it but as we got older she convinced us of
her aversion to the day. In Maters case, besides her expression of
contempt for celebrating on a single day her life's work, i also think
she dis - likes the american - ness of the phenomena.

One time i, in my mid 20' i was in a hippy, mystical, occult, new age
type shop and found a note card with a representation of the "Great
Earth Mother" (a creator "Goddess") on it and gave it to her as a
"Mothers day" card. She had it framed and it still sits to day among
her other bibelots & objects displayed. Plus she made a comment to the
effect that she had almost expected myself of all her children to find a
way of getting her to have some slight regard for the idea of a day set
aside to honour the concept of "Mother".
