thursday was julie's birthday, so wednesday i had some flowers delivered to her at work. we took off from work on the 3rd and 4th and went to land between the lakes. we stayed at a resort park there for two days. not necessarily in this order, but we went to an elk/bison prarie, a nature station which was basically a little zoo, 'the homestead' which was a living museum of life in LBL back in the 1850's, went on a hike, went horseback riding, saw two shows at the planetarium, and had some mighty fine food.
we also went antique shopping in paducah and finally found julie a jewelery box. we also got some sweet potato butter that i'm eager to try on a hot biscuit. but we had a really good and relaxing time, which was needed.
here's the photos

sunday we had a little birthday party here at the house. trish, doug, and malachi came over. we had a nice dinner of salad and spaghetti with marinara we made from tomatoes my parents gave us. and for dessert we had an apple crumble that doug made (good!) and a chocolate ice cream/raspberry cake from coldstone creamery. also malachi brought some mexican popsicles which were spiced with chili peppers and other things. i've still not tried one yet. malachi got julie a boardgame called funny friends. we played a game and it was pretty amusing. then we just sat around, watched two episodes of wonderfalls, talked about work for a bit, then watched venture bros. then everyone went home.
