wildflower week starts

So this weekend was spent mostly in the car, driving all over this city. We went from top to bottom and end to end, but we got all the Marquee Magazines delivered in Denver. That is a chore, but we got it done.
I would say about a third of the way into the delivery route my boyfriend and I realize that we didn’t set the DVR to record the Derby this weekend.. We decided it was ok and kept listening to the baseball game on the radio. There is a favorite pizza place that we deliver too, so when we got close I decided it was time for a break and some lunch. We got in, ordered our slices and fixed the drinks. We sat at a table facing a TV and started staring at it. I think it was about 3.5 seconds before we realized we were staring at the last turn as the ponies were facing the finish line.. and right then Mine that Bird took his shot and ran away with the glory. It was perfect timing (coupled with perfect pizza). So that was fun.

I would also like to remind everyone to please wash your hands, a lot!!! I have been washing them like crazy too.. don’t want to get sick.

Look out for snack time update at or around 2pm daily…

Here are your things to be grateful for today…
