I turned 26 on April 8 – wow! That puts me officially past the quarter-century mark, and one more step closer to the dreaded 30. We had a lovely birthday party here in Dubuque, with lunch out at Athenian Grill and then some amazing desserts homemade by my darling. She made homemade hot fudge sauce on homemade (full-fat) vanilla ice cream and a from-scratch chocolate Texas sheet cake with chocolate buttermilk icing. It was all to-die-for! My mom also baked a wonderful cake for me when we visited for Easter.
