I had brunch this week with my flower girl, who is now a grandmother of 6. Boy does time fly!
We met at the Oo-de-Lally Cafe - a quirky little coffee shop totally decorated in pink. I had a Milky Way latte and the strawberry/Nutella toast (those are chocolate chips dusted with powdered sugar on top of the toast). This is definitely not a place you go to if you are on a diet.
Fifty years ago, I was Missy's Campfire Girl leader. When she was rummaging through her mother's cedar chest, she found her old Campfire vest. We were both laughing trying to remember what the different symbols meant. When I got home, I tried Googling it and found out that most Campfire vests are considered antiques and have been donated to museums. I guess I should have kept mine rather than throw it out when we moved to Colorado.
In other news, I managed to get in 3 bike rides this week before the snow hit on Friday. Denver doesn't seem to get spring rain like the rest of the country; they get snow. But I guess moisture is moisture, which is good for the garden; but unfortunately, the freezing temps we got on Friday nipped a few of our plants. Hopefully, they are hardy enough to recover, especially the honey locust trees.
I'm always looking for small art supplies that will fit easily into my backpack or bike bag. Courtney gave me this little wooden palette that attaches to a tiny sketchbook and fits in the palm of your hand. I've seen people do tiny little paintings, but I can't imagine painting that small. I think you'd need a brush the width of a hair to do anything with much detail.
