This week with R+K...
It's the end of March! Despite the up and down weather, we've been lucky to have beautiful weekends to take the kids to some more hiking trails. One of their favorites has been Outlook Park at Clinton Lake, exploring through the forest to some beautiful views...and it doesn't hurt that it starts with a playground!

Tired of the LJWorld paywall? For now, you can access The Lawrence Times for free while they are getting off the ground. It's great to see another source for local news.
Speaking of The Lawrence Times, this past week they published an insightful letter by RN and local business owner, Nate Morsches on the current mental health crisis he calls "the second Pandemic". It's a sobering must-read for everyone: https://lawrencekstimes.com/2021/03/26/morsches-second-pandemic-column/
