Those strawberry margaritas look delicious! Sorry to hear about your MIL,and her hearing, that photo of her reminds me of a relative who also went a bit deaf and it's suddenly very isolating for them, as it's hard for them to follow what is going on in a social situation with everyone talking. Looking at that photo just made me think that's what was going on with her too. The cake looks fabulous!

Nice that you were all able to get together with your MIL. Looks like it was sunny inside the house even if the weather didn't cooperate. I had to laugh at you baking a cake for Maddie. I thought I was the only one who did that for a pet. Well, they are the fur babies aren't they? Stay cool and watch out for the storms for tomorrow.

Your cake is amazing and of course I'd love a margarita or maybe two. Cheers and Happy T Day!

After all, the real festivity is being with family and boy -- you did that well. The food would be great if it was even close to your pretty cake (which sounds delicious) and you're right -- I suspect it was very good you were able to be with your MIL.

I would never have known she was the same person in both photos.<br /><br />I KNEW that was Maddie in the first photo. I was going to mention it, then you explained it was her birthday. That cake looks fabulous, and it sounds like you had enough food to feed a small army.<br /><br />You must be able to hold your alcohol. Even one of those margaritas would have put me on the floor. It looks good, though. So glad you got to spend time with your husband's family, and your daughter and her boyfriend, too. Thanks for sharing your celebration with us, along with Maddie's birthday, and your drinks with us for T this almost Tuesday, dear friend.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
