In honor of the anniversary of the birth of Swamette

Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. You know her as Swamette.
I know her as the single best mother-in-law I could ever ask for. To use the Word of the Day:
"Rita is worthy of apotheosis in song of her mother-in-law skills."




Kevin and Rachel brought this beautiful cake for dessert.

And it had a wee sugar bird on it!

Rita and her oldest, my Geoff.



I couldn't stop taking pictures of the cake. The icing was delicious.

The Wall of Fame at the yurt...Jim and Rita have photos up of everyone who is important to them. I think I am in there somewhere...


Butterscotch (Jim calls him Quagmire), quite possibly the coolest cat in the world.

He even watches TV!

Rita's crocus bed.

I love the Macro function on my camera, now that I know how to use it.



Our daughters are never safe from...
"Attack of the Swami" !!!

Happy birthday, Rita. I love you.
