Happy 57th!

Today is Brian's 57th birthday.  We celebrated on Friday and Sunday since I knew I would not have time to prepare a special meal, dessert, or get the gift. 

Friday we went to Staples and Brian picked out a Kindle Fire.  I had given him a choice of an e tablet or camcorder.  After weighing the pros and cons, he decided on an e-tablet.  Then after researching and looking at sales, he decided on the Kindle Fire.  Thank you Fletcher's and Tam for your contribution to that gift.

For a special dinner on Sunday, he chose chicken fried steak.  I also fixed homemade fries, and experimented with fixing collard greens.  Then for dessert we had sour cream coffee cake pound cake.  The cake sort of fell out of the pan in 2 pieces, which was not cool.  Surprisingly, the cake sort of glued itself back together since it was still warm.  The taste was good, so that is what matters.  Sunday afternoon we went to Sonic for a drink treat.  Super Bowl was that evening, but not the highlight of the day.  Jan called that evening.

Today we have not done anything really special, except to have more cake and coffee.  Every call, card, and gift were appreciated.
