I made my first top sirloin today by using my great Crockpot. It was quite easy, but it was so delicious and really melt in your mouth.

3 pound top sirloin 

1 can of cream mushroom soup

12 oz coke

Salt, pepper, ginger powder, celery, carrots and garlic

It only takes 15 minutes to prepare and you have to cook on low for 8 hours, then you just enjoy it!

I have a friend who is a fan of North Face, when I asked why? Her answer is that the quality is so good, some of the jacket she got 10 years ago and she is still wearing them! Also, they really keep you warm. Plus people know this is a good brand and would like to spend money on it. But to me to pay for a jacket for over $500 is a little too much, then she told me about this web site that you could get the best new style North Face Jackets for discount, plus the shipping is free. So she always go to the North Face store to try the jackets then go home to order them on line, this is not a bad idea!

I have been following with the newspaper that the price of the Chicago real estate did not go down this year compare to last year, instead for many neighborhood, the price went up. But people always talking about next year can be the worst year, I am thinking to invest in a very nice building in the neighborhood, just can’t make the decision now, I need some signs to show me what to do.

I have been to Miami a few times, everything is very exciting there. People are driving very fancy cars around the town, go to afternoon parties all the time. I do not know how they can afford so much. Then I found that Luxury car rentals in Miami, FL. A lot of times you could get great deals. I tried once and had a great experience!

Maybe Pentwater we cool on the boat – well – check it out before you drive there to see if it offers what you might be looking for.  House on the Rock in wisconsin is very interesting.  Frank Lloyd Wright house in Oak Park?  Would you like to see historial homes or outdoor things?  Do they like lots of walking?  There are quite a few side trips around here – would you be combining them with trip here?  Branson with its shows and Dollywood and beautiful hiking, Branson Belle boat ride, etc.  St. Louis – butterfly house, science museum, grant’s farm with it’s clydsdale horses, botanical gardens (also Chicago botanical gardens).  If you do go west on 80 you might consider Ottawa State Park – the lodge is really nice and hiking and picknicing lovely.  Also, Utica is supposed to have antique shops.
