Michael moving out

Michael moved into his new apartment last night. The apartment was furnished with a Murphy bed, dresser and a chair. I guess you can't ask for much when the rent is only $280 a month with heat and water paid. The apartment is located on 4th Ave SE in an older home that has been divided into 4 apartments. We have the house to ourselves again now!

After moving Michael we went out to eat at Al's Red Frog with Michael and Jeremy. There is nothing like good American bar food! I had the Frog burger and an order of Jalapeno Poppers. I only ended up eating one popper, because everyone else seemed to gobble them down before I had time to get another. The bill only came to $42 with a round of drinks for four people! The bartender didn't charge us for the last round because he said we waited too long to get the poppers. We always seem to have a good time every time we stop down at Al's.

On the way home we stopped by for a martini at Daniel Arthurs's on 3rd Ave. I had the nuts and berries martini. YUM, YUM! They have an outdoor area off the bar and almost every night they have live music. It's a great place to go and unwind after a long day or on the way home as we did.

Below are a few pictures I took of the Rotary Gardens in Janesville, Wisconsin. Last weekend we went to see the Dave Matthews Band at Alpine Valley. We thought we would check out this garden since we were in town and had a few hours to kill. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise! It is a very beautiful place and my pictures don't do it justice. I wish Cedar Rapids had a public garden like this.

Thanks Scott! Daryl is doing very well. He has 3 more weeks off from work to go. He is back to driving and doing most things except any heavy lifting.
