Yesterday was a beautiful spring day … and a great day for a walk over lunch! This is one of the historic-looking buildings we passed in the Quality Hill district of downtown Kansas City.

I think these delicate herbs growing in our window are about ready for a bigger pot. Next to the parsley and oregano is some pathetic looking cilantro (intentionally not pictured). Does anyone know why the cilantro isn’t growing well like the other two? Does it need less water? Or does my cat just enjoy eating it too much?

Yesterday – the day Osama Bin Laden was killed – will go down in history. I won’t go into a lot of detail since it’s already all over the media, but even though I don’t consider myself the most patriotic person you’ll ever meet, I am glad to be an American.

I definitely had a full weekend. On Friday my mom and I ran a Relay For Life garage sale, which was a big success! We raised $375 in one day, thanks to several families’ donated items. On Saturday Jerod and I ran the Run For Mercy 10k, which is a fundraiser to improve the lives of South African children affected by HIV/AIDS. Jerod was nice enough to stay with me all 6.4 miles, and we beat our hour goal with a time of 59:19. On Sunday we participated in our church-wide Faith in Action volunteer weekend. We helped repair a fence and clean up shrubs around it. Needless to say, I’m tired! But no time to rest – back to work tomorrow.
