well its another fine rainy spring day here in Minnesota. and my friend M's birthday. and across the globe, its THE GIRL's birthday also, since her birth date is one day after M's but is 16 hours ahead. go figure. two of my favorite women more or less share the day but on different days.

had a nice grilled steak dinner today. mmm. twas good. was over at M's aunts for her birthday dinner. steak, and potatoes, and salad, and beans, and lots of food. my favorite part was how they wanted to make the salad dressing i had brought over for easter. woohooo!

and of course, a big old HAPPY BIRTHDAY to M and THE GIRL.
