Fireplace

We're so excited! The contractor building our mantel and hearth, dropped off the hearth to us the other day. So, now it was time for the plumber to come and hook up the gas and vent it out the side of the house. This morning they showed up early and worked until noon. It is up and running and functional. Now our contractor will return this week and add the beautiful oak wood casing and mantel around it. We are going to just love it, I know!

Capella Univeristy

Anyone who has visited Capella University's website before has probably seen their Inside Online Education podcast. These podcasts are put on regularly and basically provide interviews with currently faculty and students for those who are considering the school to listen to. They cover a variety of topics that will help interested people make an informed decision as to whether or not Capella is right for them. This week the podcast featured a discussion with Beverly Enns, a faculty member for reading/literacy. It was a very interesting topic of conversation and one I thought others would like to hear as well. If you're interested in learning more, check out Capella's website and learn more about online university degree they offer as well.

Wind

This past Sunday we had extreme winds in the area. Up to 67 mph winds were reported. There were trees that were damaged and some power lines down. We received just a little snow, but it didn't stay long. Since then we have had nice warm days and it sounds like that trend will continue through the weekend. It will be nice for all of the little kids out trick or treating tomorrow night. I prefer the nice warm weather.

Bows

Every time Zoe goes in for a haircut she gets little bows of ribbon put in her hair. They are attached with small rubber bands. They almost look like Ortho bands. I don't think she has ever gone more than a day after the haircut without losing at least one of the bows. They look very cute while they stay in, which isn't for long.

Election

I have heard several people say that they are tired of hearing about politics. I think it is our responsibility to vote but I too am plenty tired of the current process. It is hard to find a television channel without coming across something about the campaign. Being president would be a tough job and I certainly wouldn't want it. I am glad there are those who do have an interest in the position. I encourage everyone to get out and vote but know the facts before you do. Your vote does count.

Restaurant Reviews

I think that one thing most people today would say that they enjoy, is to dine out once in a while. I know as I grow older especially, my husband and I both enjoy food and the dinning experience. When traveling a distance from home, we sometimes are not really sure what type of an establishment might be of interest to us. We have needed guidance from an outside source. Now with restaurantica.com it has been made easy and quick for us to research restaurants. This site has a great base for restaurant reviews. You can name the state and even the city and search to find the dinning experience you are looking for. With a future trip planned for Pennsylvania, we are looking at the Philadelphia restaurants. It is user friendly and has so many types of foods to choose from. The restaurants are ranked from top to less popular in choices. The Cuisines are listed and locations and phone numbers shown. There are details given for each one such as Attire, Alcohol, Parking etc... With the personal reviews added besides, you are sure to get a feel of whether or not this is your type of place. I am looking forward to using this awesome website. Restaurantica has over 700,000 browsers each month and are a proud member of the United States National Restaurant Association (NRA) and the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA).
