Jason and I will be closing on our new house this month; because of this we decided to "staycation" in Kennett this year to save money for our upcoming house purchase.  This past week, we stayed at my parents' house where we hung out by the pool and visited all of our favorite local spots.

It was nice to spend time by the pool and with the family.  We of course visited our favorite Kennett area eateries (the non fast food ones).  We had lunch one day at Lambert's in Sikeston and Brick Oven Pizza in Paragould, AR.  I visited Paradise Donuts for the first time as well.  I must admit that the chicken salad sandwich on pretzel bread was delicious!  I tried to stay away from the sweets but I did get something at Causbies Bakery (which will always hold a special place in my heart).

After a birthday party for our nephew (complete with BBQ), we said goodbye to the family and came back up to the city.  Now we embark on a whirlwind of deadlines and paper work until closing time....
