Island/Cream

 Another combined post! SBX still seems to be having a great time on the island. I’d really like to go there someday…Looks tropical. Back in the Dirty G, Jen and I were invited to attend the VIP opening for Edison’s Ice Cream in downtown. It was awesome. I ended up eating three scoops before rushing over to Council. Fun to see the store manager as one of the kid’s friends from middle and high school. 










Memorial Day

 Jen and I were able to attend the annual Memorial Day service at Linn Grove Cemetery this year, It was a very powerful and moving service, and was so important to take a few minutes to reflect on the sacrifices of so many.

Traveler

 The world traveler is at it again. This time westward. And when you call Portland home, there are very few places to travel westward to that are still in the USA. Hawaii it is! She was invited to stay with her friend and her friend’s family for a few days. Travel day and day 1 were successful. Looks beautiful. Wish I could go to Hawaii…

Mishmash

 Is “mishmash” one work or 2? IDK. Anyways, here is a mash up of things from the past week or so. Apologies if some pictures are reposts. Summer vacation for several people has finally arrived! Big things planned this summer…vacations, home purchases, parades, friends, and most importantly memories made and pictures captured. Stopped in briefly for the May edition of the Mob Mixer. Still going strong after 5 years. Happy birthday to co-founder Katie! Some sights on the morning miles with Bella. Brighton Chamber luncheon with the Summer 2026 ALLO intern Anna. Greeley Chamber After Hours at the Stampede. Hannah is back from Oklahoma! Free lunch with the ALLO team. 

















Camp

 SBX tried some car camping last week in the PDX. She said she got cold. Girl needs a tent. And a sleeping bag. Looks beautiful. She was forced to buy some flip-flops because her Vans got soaked on the hike. Hawaii on deck! Couple of bonus pictures of a cute couple at a wedding and a much-needed cigar at the end of a long day. 












Works/LWC

 Combining two posts into one for your reading enjoyment. Stopped in and thanked the Public Works department who were hosting a Touch-A-Truck event on Thursday. Wish the weather would have been a bot better for them. Was invited to stop at their shop and get a tour of the important work they do to keep our city functioning. That evening I attended and celebrated the Leadership Weld County graduates, four of whom were from the city. Crazy how far I’ve come since my graduation two years ago. Couple of bonus pictures include my friend Nate providing opening remarks for the United Way Leaders Luncheon, and an extra bonus of the group from the city that attended the Day of Prayer several weeks ago.
