Snapshots of the weekend

Well, the weekend flew by as usual when daughter #1 is in town. Friday night she went out with her BFF Liz who was in town from Denver, so the OM and I had a quiet night at home watching an Elvis movie which I had DVR’d. Elvis never disappoints, even in a pretty terrible movie like Roustabout (1964)!

On Sunday daughter #1 and I skipped church and instead headed out to the Pedal The Cause bicycle event in Chesterfield to cheer on the boy who was riding in the PTC Classic.

The little bud tried to eat his sign, of course

Today is a big day at work. Have a good week!
