Good-Byes and Thank You's!

Sunday morning came way too fast for the girls!!  They love coming to our house and spending time together and they're such a joy to have!!

Before they left, they not only gave Glenn homemade Father's Day Cards but thank you cards to both of us - wow - no dry eyes when I read those!!




We met Jessi at our usual spot - Caribou Coffee!  I gave her money to go next door and get the girls their smoothies (masks were required ) and I went into Caribou to get the coffee!  We weren't allowed to sit inside of Caribou which I thought was ridiculous since it's quite a large area but even OUTSIDE they had the tables and chairs all tied up so you couldn't sit and enjoy your coffee outside!!  REALLY?

So we sat on the stone wall and later realized that someone had torn the tape down and we actually weren't even supposed to be sitting there either!!!  But we didn't move - when you each drive an hour and want to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun, the stone wall seemed a lot better than sitting in your car!!

But I was NOT happy with Caribou, not only because of the seating!  The last few times in Denver Jessi and I have not had a good experience at Caribou so we finally found another local coffee place that we both love!  I was hoping for a better experience at this one but it wasn't to be had!  They have discontinued making our "turtle mochas" (at least in the Caribous that are partnered with Einstein Bagels, which this one is) AND they have discontinued carrying dark chocolate which is what we order with our turtle mochas!  And to top things off, they NOW charge .80 a cup for whip cream - so to have our two small mochas with a shot of caramel and whip cream the cost was $10.80!!!!  WOW - they just lost my business!!

We did enjoy talking and sipping our expensive coffee before Jessi loaded up the girls and headed back to Denver and I headed back to the mountains!  Sure enjoyed having the girls!!

Thank you so much for keeping them! Aleah seriously talks about it all year long and it's top on her list for summer plans!
