Springtime in Durham, NC

Anna and I went for a walk around our local lake and heard croaking frogs and saw crocuses and daffodils blooming.

Friday Night Dinner at Our House



Anna's genius: veal tenderloin with shallots, garlic, mushrooms and wine sauce. With garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli...and a nice bottle of Pinot Noir.

Sunday Adventure

This morning, after an Insanity workout, we went for an archery lesson.  Then we ate lunch and went to the American Tobacco Trail to explore the new overpass going over the interstate.  We call the overpass the forever overpass (it's taking forever to finish and probably costing millions!).

Kissing A Fish

Some people will do anything for a freebie. 
At Whole Foods today, the fish department offered "buy one lobster tail get one free" --- but you had to kiss an ugly monkfish with a gaping mouth.  Of course, Anna was up for it.  So lobster tails for dinner tonight!

Visit From Nephew Chris and Fiancée

This weekend Chris and Prem flew in from Boston to visit Oma and Opa.  Opa took us all out to the Angus Barn to celebrate Chris and Prem's recent engagement.  Lots of meat (and some alcohol) was consumed. We acted as tour guides and showed the Triangle to our visitors from the north.  The weather was warm and everyone had a great time.  Unfortunately, we are unlikely to see Prem and Chris until their wedding in October.
