So anyhow...

It's been a few weeks so I thought I'd better get a new post up.
Spring is finally here and we've been having some great weather lately, woo hoo! I love the nice warm weather, makes me feel so much better. 
This weekend is Memorial Day and next week is The Principal Charity Golf Classic. I'm going to be volunteering at the tournament that week as a golf marshall, I'm not sure all what I have to do but I guess I'll learn. The tournament is on the senior golf PGA tour so I think I might see someone famous...like I know who some of these players are.

Till next time

Pella Tulip Time


For my first road trip this summer I went to Pella Tulip Time but didn't go until Sunday since Saturday was a little chilly. The day was great and the tulips were in full bloom. The festival was over but there were still many people out on the town square admiring the flowers and the downtown area. The town is about 45 minutes southeast of Des Moines and just east of Red Rock Lake. Pella is a small town, maybe 10,000 or 15,000 people, very Dutch. I posted some pics that I took on my Flickr account. Check them out.

Salisbury Steak


I went to the store the other day to pick up some easy to make Lean Cuisine dinners, I usually only get a couple different ones so I get 5 or 6 of each and I'm on my way. I went to go fix one up tonight and to my surprise I had grabbed a Salisbury Steak one by accident. It was mixed in with my two favorites and I accidentally purchased it. Well, to not let it go to waste, I had it for dinner tonight. It wasn't bad, it tasted like a spiced up hamburger with some mushrooms and sauce on top, also came with mashed potatoes and carrots so I think it was good for me.
Next time, I will look at every box before I put it in my grocery cart. I hate when that happens.
