Have a Lovely Green Weekend

April 23, 2010 0

Hello, Friends! How was your week? Was it super busy, like mine? I have been super excited all week our first camping trip and guess what? That’s right, it’s raining, and it has been cold and raining for the past few days. Not exactly the weather I was hoping for. And to top it off, Mr. Sweet Greens will be home at 11:00 this morning, so we could get a head start on our big camping adventure. Blerg. So, I am not sure what our weekend will hold for us, will we brave the storm, pack our rain gear and head for the hills? Or, will we stay home sip tea by the fire or soak in our Eco friendly hot tub?

We may go to The Denver Museum of Nature and Science to see Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds Exhibit. Have you seen this or something like it? It is a fantastic insight into the human body showing the effects of health and disease on the cardiovascular system. Sounds fascinating to me, no?

Have a fantastic weekend, I will see you back here on Monday.

xo,
Sweet Greens
