Fancy Restaurants

So, on our recent trip to Cleveland, Steve and I were driving back to town after visiting Niagra Falls and while passing through Buffalo - we saw a restaurant on the side of the interstate that we decided to backtrack and eat at. It was called "Harry's", and it really looked like a fun place to try. Unfortunately it turned out like most fancy restaurants; not much food, not great food, but big prices.

It did have a great view though -

And, they did give us cotton candy - to sweeten the blow when they brought out the bill.


I guess we are just simpler folk, because our favorites in Cleveland from our two trips there are below - Hoggy's Barn and Grill, the best BBQ ribs I have ever had.



And then a classic midwest restaurant - The Steak and Shake

Dandelion's & Yard Work

So, most of you know that I love my home in West Bountiful. I love the neighborhood. I love the style. But there are a few things I would change if I could, as I am sure most people would. One of those things is the amount of work it takes to maintain our yard.

I feel like every time I have a few spare hours I need to be spending it in the yard. Tonight, it was combing the lawn with a steak knife digging up dandelion's and their roots. Other activities so far this spring, spraying our tree that has borer's and then filling the holes with elmers glue (who knew that is how you fix this problem), fertilizing the lawn, re-planting the tulip's that our neighbor's children have been pulling up (we have now had our little neighbor over 3 seperate times to apoligize for either plucking the heads off my tulips, or the latest was for actually pulling them up bulb and all.) And, I haven't really even started weeding yet :)

Anyway, I don't want to sound like I am complaining, it is a beautiful yard, and I love the way it looks when everything is done, and I actually like working out there, it would just be nice if it wasn't so overwhelming.
