Croquet and a Picnic

What's the Password?

So grateful for family & friends who love board games as much as I do!

Football

Supernova

In addition to the awesome mix of 80s music, Supernova has all the good old arcade games like Asteroids, PacMan, Joust, Digger, Frogger and more.... plus pinball!

What a great new place to go in downtown Colorado Springs!

Birthday Delights: Apples, Berries, Picnic & more...

I had such a delightful birthday! The day started beautifully with wrapped presents in my favorite colors, with a corresponding O'Keeffe card, from my boyfriend. So many wonderful books this year! And great shoes. :) Many thanks to everyone for the splendid and generous gifts.

A group of us headed down to Penrose where we first went blackberry and raspberry hunting.

Then on to the apple trees -- Gala, Jonathon, Golden & Red Delicious... pies to be made today.

Next, a picnic down the road in Florence, CO. Sitting in the shade we drank wine and snacked on delicious stinky cheese, crackers, bread, peppered Genoa salami, olives, tomato salad, berries we had picked, and Lazy Daisy Chocolate Cake.

After walking around Florence's antique shops and finding little treats for ourselves, we went back to the Springs for a game of Parcheesi and dinner.

These colorful poker chips are from a set my friend found in one of the Florence shops. We didn't have time to play yet -- but hopefully soon!
