I’m not a pizza person. But pizza was a must to plan my kid’s birthday party. So, I have this place a try- and WOW! The flavorful marinara sauce, the light NY style thin crust, and the simple, delicious combo surprised me 🤩

Looking for a quick road trip from the Kansas City metro? Branson, Missouri, is just 3-4 hour drive away from KC 🚗 We spent three relaxing days at Table Rock Lake, and I’m sharing our favorite sports, so you can save this video for your next trip. 🚘 Our first stop was Moonshine Beach near the visitor center. Since we brought our stand up paddings, we headed to Indian Point shortly after. It was much less crowded. The golf cart tour at the top of the rocks Ozarks Heritage Preserve was nice! Beautiful rock formations, waterfalls, a natural cave, and incredible panoramic views. Don’t miss the swinging bridge and the fish feeding at Devil’s Pool Restaurant. Bent Hook Marina & Market looks ideal place for paddling board. Or 4 hour rental boat is $50. Of course, we spent some time strolling around Branson Landing. We enjoyed Mexican food, pizza, Thai food(be sure to grab coupons at the entrance, such as $10 off Ziplines!) and the silly sign “husband daycare” 😂 And finally shout out to Buc-cee! It’s Texas born gigantic gas station ⛽️ famous for huge selection of snacks, fresh BBQ, homemade fudge and more! I can’t wait for KCK Buc-cee opens next fall! This is great news 👀 well, have you been to Branson? What’s your favorite spot? Let me know in the comments! I need more SUP spots. Thanks in advance!

I realized later that day my students didn’t learn this grammar “(place)de (event)ga arimasu.” yet. We should have stock with (N1) wa (N2)desu. にほんごクラスは　げつようびと　もくようびです。That’s my bad! Well, if you’re interested in learning Japanese, check out the website and sign up for fall sessions. Arigatoo gozaimasu!

MLS shows homes with good prices, good locations, and good conditions become under contract right away. Homes with overpriced, bad locations such as at major streets, and/or bad condition tend to sit on market for long and mostly end up price reduction once or twice. Preparation and strategy matter for selling.
