I finally tackled the backyard today – of course 30 minutes of weeding led to a 2-hour nap on the couch (oops!) but it was worth it. Because of the bird feeder in the back yard here at our appartment, we had a miniture forest growing. The birds knock out enough seeds that [...]

Today we tried a Carribean cafe for lunch – it was great! Anyone who lives in the KC area needs to try El Carribe. We had conch fritters as an appetizer (David learned he liked conch, and Erin learned she liked cocktail sause) and I had coconut chicken as an entree. Afterward [...]
