Lost Forty, here we come!

 Happy Monday!

 Is this weather in Little Rock fabulous or what??? This warm weather girl loves it. Yesterday, hubby and I put the top down and went for a glorious afternoon drive. We had some great conversation and much needed catch up time. Our kids are at the stage where they are making some major transitions in their lives, so all of our conversations center around the kids and we sometimes forget about each other. We did a little bit of house hunting as well. We are a bit torn about our house situation. We kind of want to downsize or just make a change, but we love our location. So, I think we have decided to do some upgrading and stay where we are. It is so convenient and when we cannot climb stairs anymore, we can move upstairs and still have all our amenities. I do love our house. It finally feels like our home.

 After driving we felt like having a beverage (as hubby says). We headed to Lost Forty Brewing. OMG! It was awesome! Please go check it out. The beer was yummy-we had the flights so we could sample them all. For munchies we had the jalapeño pimento cheese-wow! And the homemade bread with flavored butters-another wow! The bread is made from the grains leftover from the beer. They send it to Boulevard Bread and then they create this yummy multi grain perfection. The atmosphere was just as wonderful. It is in an old warehouse and full of character. They also have an old fashioned arcade game, Dig Dug! We of course had to play a couple of rounds. This will definitely be in the Francis rotation.

 Speaking of food, Saturday night after taking millions of pictures and saying good bye to the Catholic High Winter attendees (oldest son looks amazing in a tux and his date was beautiful), hubby and I headed to Terry’s Finer Foods to check out the pizza we have been hearing so much about. Oh my. Heavenly. Seriously. Not joking. We had the Quattro Stagioni. This pizza was split in 4 sections: artichokes, olives, mushrooms and Prosciutto di Parma. The pizza crust was melting in our mouth and the ingredients were so fresh. For dessert we split the pecan ball which is a ball of vanilla Loblolly ice cream rolled in this incredibly chocolate sauce and then rolled in pecans. MMMMMMMMMM good. We took a slice of apple pie home and it was equally as divine. Go check this place out. The staff knows their stuff and is ridiculously friendly.

 Split Challenge Update: I will blog about my progress tomorrow, complete with pictures! It has been a fun challenge and I am pleasantly surprised by the results.

 Almost forgot! Congratulations to the Horace Mann Varsity basketball team! They won the LRSD championship on Saturday. It was an exciting game to watch and the last game for Princess to cheerL.

 Have a fabulous Monday! Get out and enjoy the weather. I most certainly will!

Hugs!
