Gusling
Our dog is crazy. Hedgehog Guy says he was acting for the camera, but, honestly, being chased around the house is his FAVORITE game. He gets so excited that he wipes out on the floor and constantly hurts his shoulders. So we try not to play too much or too often. He was pretty cute last night, even hopping onto the couch to grab a toy he preferred (dolphin vs. barrel). This was the first evening since the heat wave that he's been wanting to play so...

Grandma's 90th Birthday
Happy Birthday Grandma!
I spent this past weekend visiting my family to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. Most of her family of 2 kids, 4 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren were around High Pines resort on Bad Medicine Lake in northern Minnesota for the big party on Sunday afternoon. We had a
n open house at my parent's newly finished lake cabin to help Grandma celebrate along with about 70 of her friends. She had a fabulous time. Below is a video of Grandma talking about first coming up to the lake in 1947. The sound is very quiet in the video, so turn up your speakers. Sorry, I didn't take too many videos during the party - none of Grandma with her sister or myself!

Seven Years
Hedgehog G
uy and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary on Monday. Hedgehog Guy mentioned that he feels that our time in our apartment in Maryland was a "long time ago", and then he realizes we were already married then! We had a nice dinner at a Greek restaurant on Main St. called "The Main". No live music on Mondays, but it was relaxing. We then retired to the house for some internet video and TV show watching. This is an old picture from our last Thanksgiving in the house in Delaware, but you get the idea.
It has been super hot here the last week (above 90oF, 30-35oC), and we don't have air conditioning! Another great thing about Vancouver?

Strait of Georgia, BC
At the end of June my lab group spent a week on the Canadian Coast Guard Vessel the Vector sailing up the west coast of Canada in the Strait of Georgia. I worked really, really hard - something like four 18 hour days in a row interspersed with heavy lifting and rain showers. But the scenery was fabulous. Nothing like the East Coast where I am used to cruisin'. I have a ton of video to grab snapshots from, but thought I would share these photos from my boss's Facebook page first.
Me working on the flow cytometer and then the lab group in front of a waterfall in one of the fjords.

Happy Birthday!
Hedgehog Guy is 29 today! We'll be enjoying a steak dinner at home to celebrate. I'll try to put up a picture of his cake this evening - if the cake is as good as the batter was last night, we are going to die.
Tomorrow I leave for a 4 day sampling trip to Pavilion Lake, British Columbia. A day of driving on each end of 2 days of field work with my lab manager and her son. I really hope it is lots of fun. Two astronauts should be there at the same time to practice flying the ROV submersibles!
