“I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the Spring”*

Phew! What a whirlwind of activity last weekend! We had four extra people in our house and several get togethers involving copious amounts of food and drink.

My darling daughters planned everything.

and pulled it all off with aplomb.

Darling daughter #3 made the spectacular 3-layer cake (cheesecake, cake, mousse).

My brother and sister came from distant lands as did some very old friends.

And my in-town friends put on their party pants and joined in the fun.

We even managed a visit to the Missouri Botanical Gardens at the height of the azalea bloom.

Of course, there was frozen custard.

It was delovely to say the least.
