Nice Birthday

I had a nice birthday on Thurs. It was sunny which is so nice especially in winter. I had about 100 birthday greetings on Facebook from friends all over. For people that think that Facebook is a bad thing, they need to try it before they say that. I know it can be for kids that give out too much information or become friends with strangers. But for adults, it's a great thing for keeping in touch with people of all ages and learning new things. I got more cards in the mail this year than ever before too.

That evening we went to The Cellar in Ft. Dodge with Terri & Todd. It's been their favorite restaurant for many years and we had never been there. My food pictures came out dark but 3 of us had steaks and Terri had this pasta dish. The chocolate lava cake was mine (very good). The restaurant gave us free champagne for a toast since it was my birthday. Everything was good. We'll go back! So all in all, a nice day!

Bill has been working on getting the planter ready to go. Diane and girls were here yesterday. Lacey & I made Dirt Pudding and walked on the Three Rivers Trail (her first time).

Last night we had a shrimp boil with friends - the shrimp was flown in from Florida so very fresh and good. (It was a pitch in so I took the Dirt Pudding there.)

Our Rodeo and Saddle Club had a Bachelor & Bachelorette Auction at the bar last night. Two of the guys at the shrimp boil were going to be auctioned off and were getting nervous about it as we were eating! They were thinking it might be better to just stay home and watch the NASCAR race! When we came home through town, it looked like a big crowd at the auction!
