Oooo...do you know how MUCH I love cake? I love it more than my size implies, mostly because I only eat cake a few times a year. NOT as often as I would like to...like every day.
In other-than-cakely news:
Bonnie is in Turkey safely, and is so far having a wonderful (and, she assures us, an educational) time.
Adam is home from Scotland. He is here till Saturday, when he drives to Bozeman to begin his adventures in Solar Theory. Though he tells us he doesn't exactly know what that means.
Ross is graduating tonight and my parents and my MIL are coming out to dinner with us to celebrate. Ross managed to survive the 2-hour (!) graduation practice this morning, while Adam and I waited for him by shopping and drinking frappaccinos.
I have been asked by several neighbors if I am up for hire for weeding and carrying around barkdust, since I have been spending so much time doing it. Heck no, I've still got tons of work to do in my own garden, thank you. More later.
I'm a bit late in the comment here, but congratulations to Ross for graduating! How very exciting, and well done for raising such amazing kids!

My gosh, your kids are so very dynamic! Turkey! Solar Theory (whatever it may be!) And graduation! Good for you -- you have done well, my dear. (Because as Mom, you can take all the credit. You must!)

Wow! You have one busy family! I love the cake you created...it looks so light and sweet. I know what you mean about loving something but having to avoid it...I guess when you do have cake, it tastes delicious:>

You're children sound so wonderful and I think it's neat the way you have raised them to be so curious about the world. So much so, that they take off to go see it! I hope i can do the same for my little boy.

You have been busy, both with kids and the garden! My parents loved Turkey, and didn't expect to. Congrats to Ross! We are not finished with school until June 21st. UGH!

I don't think I met anyone who doesen't love cake-it's a beautiful thing, except for those pesky calories of course. A simple and stylish picture of contentment here. Appealing and tasty piece of work.
