→ i do love frivolity. something so good for the psyche about doing something
with the only benefit being pure fun or silliness. what do you do that’s nonsense?

»»» with memorial day right around the corner (and summer!!) american flags will be coming out for the season. did you know there are lots of etiquette rules to follow? my family put out a flag almost everyday growing up and those etiquette lessons have always stuck with me. a few good tips → the flags union should always be hung at the peak of the staff hanging from your house (unless at half staff), should always be hung during daylight, and if hung in the evening must be illuminated. when raising, bring it up briskly, and lower slowly and ceremoniously, and never, ever let the flag touch the ground. there are many other etiquette rules, but for the average household honoring memorial, flag day, 4th of july, and labor day holidays this will keep you in good standing. do you hang a flag and if so, do you follow any etiquette rules?

→ we went on a mother’s day roadtrip that included a tiny bit of slot pulling. (; black hawk & central city colorado are only 45 minutes away, and mom’s got a little lucky streak sometimes so we hit the casinos. none of us had ever been and the drive along clear creek canyon park is ah-mazing, central city is really quaint, and black hawk is one of the oldest towns in the state. we didn’t exactly hit it big but we had a ton of fun. we might have went in the free photo booth at one of the casinos 2 or 3..ok! 4 times.. we scouted out all of the places tiny and big and found our favorites for next time. the little places are fun to see, not as exciting to gamble in, and the big ones give you a tiny taste of vegas.. especially ameristar. have you been? or is it vegas or bust?

colorado by yes, please!
what are your plans for the weekend? he’s still working on the side project he started last week (that’s why our home updates are scarce right now.. he’s not goofing off, just working really hard on someone else’s home-sweet-home) and our forecast is calling for rain; so we’re thinking maybe an ikea run (although on a weekend that is a bit like pushing the insanity button), showing my mamma mia downtown in-between raindrops, going for sliders, and special sunday plans.. wait & see!

do you drink coffee everyday? and if so, is the day off if you don’t have it? or if not coffee a coke? i don’t drink caffeine except in my occasional coke zero, if i have caffeinated coffee i feel so jittery and sick. however…. i love my decaf lattes, and i do feel like i’m missing something if i don’t have one in the morning. it’s like i’ve been cheated. i love the smell of coffee, the flavor (in a latte mind you) and just drinking something hot. and you maybe remember me & tea (; not such a good pair do we make.
since we haven’t been totally set up this year, i sometimes get a decaf from starbucks to make my lattes (i prefer rice milk, and they only offer soy); and every time i go i get this: we have no decaf, i can wait while they brew a cup or have a decaf americano instead. i always wondered how i timed it that every single visit no decaf was brewed, until.. this weekend, as i waited for my cup to brew the barista and i started chatting and he said they never have decaf, it’s always wait for a cup or the americano. so it wasn’t just me and bad timing. did you know this? are we that small of a percentage wanting decaf? on the upside, it’s always fresh.
