Yesterday, George and I celebrated my birthday a little late, but we had a wonderful afternoon and evening!
We started with the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. It was a fascinating and well-done exhibit, and it was interesting to learn some of the Duke connections to it. (For instance, in/around 1950, they were on exhibit in Duke Chapel, and Duke had a chance to purchase them, but didn't.) Afterward, George and I had dinner at the Irregardless Cafe in Raleigh. We'd been there once before, for Sunday brunch, so it was nice to eat there for an evening meal. We both got the same veggie dish, which was yummy! Afterward, we went to Brier Creek to see the movie, "The Secret Life of Bees," which I really enjoyed! I'd read the book recently, in hopes of seeing the movie soon. Queen Latifah did a nice job in her role, as did Dakota Fanning. (Little Dakota is growing up!) All in all, a really fun day with George!
It's a busy weekend, overall! Friday night, George's family treated me to dinner at Lucy 32's as a late birthday present, and tonight we're going to the Raleigh Galloway running group's end-of-year party. Tomorrow night we're having a church group over, so we're cleaning and shopping for that this afternoon too.

Sounds like a great day. I have read Bees, too, so I will be interested to hear more about the movie. See you tonight at Galloway!
I am just now getting caught up on blogs, after my injury-induced exile from the blogosphere. I was in Raleigh at about that same time!! I wanted to eat at the Irregardless, but due to my luggage problems, was unable to. I still have to run a marathon in NC, so I will definitely be back and try again!
