It's always hubby's goal to get out of the house at least once. Twice if he is lucky. Penny is behaving better and better at restaurants. Its still work believe me but with the help of a certain "TB" aka iPad it sometimes keeps Penny occupied until the meal arrives. For our one outing I suggested we go to Eden's Burger Bar which I had bookmarked on YELP. I had been wanting to try it for a long time and today was the perfect day. So the three of us drove a mile and a half down the road to get our grub on. We were the first patrons of the day. The waitress saw our toddler and seated us in the back corner which was fine with me because it allowed Penny to watch her movies on the iPad. Penny had fun playing with a painting app much to hubby's dismay as she was enjoying erasing a picture of Mickey that hubby drew. Penny enjoyed sitting in a big girl chair all by herself.

It was hard to choose one but we ended up picking the Truffle Burger and the Mediteranean Burger, truffle fries and a Cesar salad. The food was delicious but I made the mistake of trying hubby's first and wished I would have gotten what he ordered. Not that my burger was bad its just he always orders the best tasting thing on the menu!!!

The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
