Made it out to Blue Arena for game 3 of the Eagles playoff series. Sure will be fun when the Eagles are in Greeley, eh? Enjoyed the game from the Flight Deck, with many friends and supporters. Greeley Fire even presented the colors. Last time on the Flight Deck was 3 days after the election. Bonus pictures of a Rotary meeting at the Kress that I had to duck out early from, in order to pick up Nate and get to the game. Thanks to UNC for presenting. Go Bears.
Why that should even be a blog title in Colorado in May, I don’t know. But it’s been one of those seasons, with only a handful of measurable snowstorms this winter. It was a snow day for District 6, and this was how it looked at 645 when Bella and I took our morning walk. The night before was another interesting Council meeting, appointing a representative for Ward 1 and finalizing both McBoom as City Manager and the land swap with Weld County and District 6. Bonus picture of the UNC Men’s Basketball spring wrap-up luncheon. Enjoyed seeing my Champions Room friends.
Finally connected with our friend group for the first time in months. Enjoyed some time on the patio at a new brewery in Loveland. What a treat it seems to be now to go to a place where I don’t know anyone. Looking forward to our big adventure together in June. Sara(Beth) also had some fun with some new friends on a big hike near the ocean. It was also a good excuse to get out of the 93 degrees Portland was experiencing. She did great on the hike…until she tripped on some gravel in the parking lot. Bonus picture of her new tattoo.
Wrapped up the Derby party and wandered over to 477 to kill some time before the final performance of the season for the Greeley Philharmonic. We have enjoyed being a season ticket holder for the past several seasons. We picked up a few more friends at 477, then walked back across Lincoln Park and got to our seats as the lights went down. Simply amazing concert. And that Taco Bell afterwards hit just right. Great job this season, Ben. Can’t wait for next year!
Time once again for the annual Greeley Lifestyle Kentucky Derby party! Got all dressed up in our Derby best and headed downtown to meet up with the crew and sip some mint juleps. New location this year, which seemed to work out better. Smoked a few cigars, took pictures, and enjoyed some time on the mic. Race turned out pretty good, too.
It actually wasn’t as exciting as the title indicates. Morning walk. The neighborhood peacock, Jen ready for vacation. Then dueling events in downtown that we tried to run concurrent booths at: The Cinco De Mayo celebration on 8th Street, and the UNC Bears/Go-Cup on 9th Street. Neither were very successful. Maybe if our booth wouldn’t have been hidden behind a giant pot and a tree. Highlight was being done and getting to hang with Matt for a few minutes.
