I have alot of images to show you, and stories to tell.
But for now, I want to brag and gloat for a minute.
My in-laws, Swami and Swamette (Jim and Rita) are awesome. They presented me with this today:
My very own Julie Zickefoose painting.They asked Julie if she had any raptors (hawks, owls, etc.) and told her to choose one for me. And this is what I got...a beautiful red-tailed hawk: perched and in flight. And a touching inscription:
"A Red tail for Susan, because your spirits seem to match. J Zickefoose Christmas '06"
I will now pause for you to give me a "HELL YEAH!".
It's not often my in-laws make me cry. But they did today. All I could say for quite a while was, "Th-an-an-ank you".
A final bit for now:
We noticed a definite "Yak" theme this year.
I searched for yak-related products, and one of the items I knew Jim had to have was a nice big chunk of yak cheese. From Tibet.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteSwami & Swamette have munched upon the yak cheese. It is quite tasty. It brought a tear to the eye of Zak the Yak when he saw and smelled the yak cheese.
The Swami will try to post about his other yak-related presents soon.
Kudos to Swami and Swamette! I'll bet JZ's print was your favorite gift this year? So, so, special. Here it is:

Swami and Swamette done good.
Cool - Yak Cheese - I wonder what it tastes like.
The yak cheese is very good. Just as I imagine their commercials say: "From Contented Yaks."
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which is cooler - the JZ painting or the cheese!
