I have just recently discovered Lindt chocolate and it is by far the most amazing chocolate ever. I know, I know, it has been on the shelves for quite awhile, why haven't I tried it until now. Well, I just didn't think there would be anything special about it. But Wal-mart had it on sale, so I thought I'd try it and now I am a fan for life.

Our favorite BBQ grilling recipes are very simple, we like to marinate the meat in Italian dressing and then put it on the grill. Sometimes we like to use creamy italian dressing as a dip for the meat, especially if we are having pork chops. Then we also have baked beans, salsa and chips, spinach salad with strawberries, macaroni and cheese and chocolate cake. I think that makes the perfect BBQ menu. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Lawrence, KS Hiking Trails Lawrence, KS has many great hiking trails. There are many marked ones at Clinton Lake with different levels of difficulty. There are also many paved sidewalks through the city that allow walkers to take long walks or bike rides to other areas of the city. One of my favorite Lawrence, KS trails is the one on the north side of the Kansas River. You have to go north over the bridge by Massachussetts St. and 6th St, then you follow the river and walk on the river levee as far as you want to go. I think the trail is actually about 8 miles long, but I have never made it that far. There is a trail on the south side of the river also, but it is more wooded. I prefer the north side. The Lawrence, KS home below has some of its own great walking trails for you to enjoy. ... 05/21/2010

If you have recently purchased a home in Lawrence, KS, you should have it inspected by a licensed mechanical inspector. There are many inspectors and optional inspection types to choose from. To help find a licensed inspector and understand the different types of inspections available to buyers, I maintain a list of local Lawrence home inspectors on my website as well as contact information for service providers for any specialized inspections you might require. Buyers usually begin with a "home inspection" by a licensed mechanical inspector. Once this primary mechanical inspection is completed, the report will provide a broad overview of the condition of the property and help you decide if any further specialized inspections should be conducted. Here are quick links to the different ty... 05/17/2010
