Birthdays - Late and Early

I left Ft. Collins about 12:30, prepared for a nice hour and a half drive to Denver - WRONG - this time it wasn't the traffic, it was the weather!! Rain/snow/sleet - whatever you want to call it - it was coming down and made visibility not only poor, but that darn stuff that they put on the interstates gets on your windshield and it's just like grease!! I think I went through a gallon of windshield wiper fluid during the drive!!


Nevertheless, I DID make it to Denver!! My first stop was at Jessi's to get an adjustment - I've been dealing with neck/shoulder/back problems for a couple of weeks now and couldn't wait to have her make me feel better - she always does...........

Then it was over to Jaime's to play with her kids for a while - Jessi's family eventually came over and we celebrated an early birthday for Jaime (March 19th) and a late birthday for Rayna (March 2nd).

I was excited to give Rayna her gift from Glenn and I - a child size REAL guitar!! I'm hoping she'll allow me to give her lessons so she can learn to play - she knows some of her notes from me giving her a few piano lessons but that didn't seem to excite her too much so hopefully the
guitar will be something really fun for her!

After a great dinner of chicken enchiladas, we ate YUMMY fruit pizza, complements of Jessi, to celebrate the birthdays!

Glenn had called about 4:45 telling me it had been snowing all day so I promptly left at 5:30 - the drive again wasn't great due to snow, snow, snow!! By the time I got around an hour from home, the highway was snow packed and icy and I came home to about 6 inches of wet snow - barely making it up the driveway!! I'll be glad when spring gets here so I don't have to worry about driving in poor weather conditions!
