On a scale of 1-10, my excitement for dinner tonight is an 11. We're trying the Chicago deep dish for the first time.

1. I don't have to cook.
2. There will be leftovers which means I won't have to cook tomorrow.
3. It's Logger's Pizza !!!
4. I don't have to cook!!!

Be sure to plan for about 45 mins for this one (or more if they're slammed). It takes longer to make than their other pizzas. Here are some of their other OH-MAZING pizzas!

I've featured a lot of small businesses and restaurants since starting this page and I hope that advertising and my continued loyalty might inspire you to support a cause, a mission and an activity that is making a significant impact in our community.

In September, His House of Hope is hosting a Color Run at Elk Lake Park. Lots of fun, camaraderie and a chance to support something every community needs, a reduction in drug and alcohol addiction.

If there is ANY opportunity for you to give back, it'd be appreciated. I do what I do on this page at my own expense. I support you and promote you without compensation of any kind. Can I ask for a favor on behalf of His House of Hope?

Donations can be made directly by mail or online. Questions can be directed to [email protected] or by calling 715 339 4406.

Jesse and I were discussing the best approach to getting the word out about His House of Hope and their upcoming Color Run in September 12 at Elk Lake Park. Jesse suggested his best ideas come from a cozy cat nap so he's on his way to taking one. My ideas are usually the result of reflective, uninterrupted time spent peering out a window while jotting notes. Fortunately for Jesse, he can nap as I peer.

The Color Run is a wonderful community event. All ages are welcome and it's a great opportunity to support the mission of His House of Hope while getting some fresh air and hopefully, sunshine!

If you are interested in participating, either as a runner, walker or sponsor (individual/family/team or business/corporate), I know they'd love to hear from you.

You can register online at www.hohphillips.org, email at [email protected] or by phone at 715.339.4406.

Every step helps someone start over. Thank you for supporting His House of Hope.

Checking out some property here and then headed north to Boulder Junction. I have always loved that town and its little downtown. It's been a few years since I've been there and I'm curious about some recent developments so we're going to go check it out.
