Fun Friday and a 3 Day Weekend!

Rose Awards, Volume 2

Hurray! 3 day weekend!

Best Festival in Kansas City: The Renaissance Festival I have attended most years since it opened. The day T proposed to me, we spent the day there. So much to do and see and a great festival to eat your way through.

Best Use of Late Summer Tomatoes: Tomato, Mozzerella and Basil Salad. Cupini's makes a great one but so do I. Nothing like a homegrown tomato.

Best Chocolate Bar: Godiva's Chocolate Raspberry Bar. So good I wanted to cry. Crying while eating chocolate is nothing to be ashamed of, is it?

Best Satire Featuring a Muppet: Cookie Monster's Analysis of Shakespeare.

Best "Good News" Item of the Week: Astronomers find 4 New Planets. An interesting news item that was buried under much bigger news.

Finally, good news wins the google war - 5.2 million hits for good news, vs. 3.08 million hits for bad news. Heading in to a 3 day weekend after a hectic week (and another on the way), it's nice to know.
