The place is in Bed-Sty which is a sort of hit or miss, some streets are... Continue reading

Winter will be here very soon and for now, we are enjoying the fresh brisk air outside.... Continue reading

Ronen and I take long walks almost everyday, we love hiking down the LaPlattte Nature Park that sits right smack in the middle... Continue reading
