Happy Summer

Frankly, I'm so embarrassed that it's been since June that I last posted anything here on the blog. Can I plead summer? I've had tons of real estate activity plus children out of school and some really wonderful vacations including two weeks in Montana & Wyoming hiking the wilds of Yellowstone, Glacier and Grand Tetons National Park. Don't ask me which I liked better because I still can't decide and I'm still very much in love with Zion in Utah...hmmm...it was nice to come home to our beautiful Kentucky landscape though!

In the time we've spent in Lexington, we've been enjoying lots of bike riding in an attempt to make a game out of curbing our gas usage. Being inside New Circle Road people, we've been enjoying a number of local restaurants that we can ride to easily -- Puccini's Smiling Teeth off Euclid, and our new favorite where I've been 4 times in the last three weeks: A.P. Roots on Romany Road. If you know Lexington, you know that Romany has some great local spots, Suggins, Wheeler's Drugstore, Graeter's, but you may not know that the owners of Suggins have also opened A.P. Roots -- a terrific, more upscale but still very comfortable (i.e. you can ride your bike there and not feel too underdressed) restaurant that features lots of local produce and unique menu items. Marc and I are hooked on the homemade parpadelle noodle dishes. We want to make sure lots of people eat there as I'll cry if they go out of business.
