They said they had a great time and were appreciative of the hospitality last weekend. We offered to let them spend the night before leaving for South Dakota (they were part of the Colorado Team - Gerry's Kids). They declined because they had to work this morning. WORK following a week long bicycle trek? Yes, in case you are wondering they are young. Both recently ordained Lutheran ministers. Ahhhhh to be young and energetic... Wonder what today's sermon was about?

Before you call the card coppers let's chat about the next card. Could it be that I made a wedding card? You may recall from a previous post that wedding cards are my nemesis. I don't like to make them and I don't do well at making them. I make them for other people to give at nuptial ceremonies however I run for the nearest Hallmark store whenever I need to give a wedding card. What is up with THAT???

~Blue and white tulle
