Well, I had a great bday. The morning started off with breakfast at Stomping Grounds where I had a vege quiche and a cappaccino, it was dellllliiicccoussssss. Then Nelson and I loaded up the truck and headed about 30 minutes out of town to do some fishing in the river. We both put our waders on and went in, but no such luck. Guess the water was running too fast for the fish, who knows. Then, I spent the afternoon reading a great book while Nelson was busy preparing a fabulous dinner. We had some friends over for dinner and then had two cakes, yep, two. Reminds me of all those birthdays that I shared with Stacey, we always had two cakes. Except these were both for me, ha. It was great, I was up for awhile after all of that sugar. Katherine the cake was great, I knew you could bake, no more excuses now.......oh, that home-made ice cream was delicious too.....

Thanks everyone for the calls and just such a great day.....

Here is also some video from the evening using my new camera :)

Here is a hilarious video. I am practicing uploading video. I am getting a new digital camera for my bday that will have some video capability. I wanted to try this out before it arrived.

Well, it seems that summer has finally arrived, yippeee!!
Nelson survived the semester and so did I. We are both glad....
The weather is finally warming up here and it dawned on us the other day that we survived the winter without too much suffering. I am glad that the temps are warming up but it sure is windy here. We have been in Ames a year now, my my my, where did the time go.

Nelson went on a fishing trip this weekend and had a great time. He caught a 14 inch Walleye and said that it was fun. Unfortunately we don't have a picture because I had the camera. Hey Nelson, I keep telling you that we "need" another digital camera;)
I took the day off Friday to enjoy the day. Went to the tulip festival this weekend and also the outlet mall, what a great time.

But, all good things must come to an end. I started my first day of summer classes today and it is back to the grindstone for me.

Here are a few pics from the weekend.
