It’s A Beautifullllll Day!
Wow – can't hardly get over how beautiful it is today! The sun is intoxicating and it just feel's great being outside. We have been having different teams come over after our morning gathering and it is so cool to hang with the heroes of Elmwood.

Gotta be honest, it's a little difficult to get my mind completely focused on Sunday morning when the Sabres are struggling on Saturday night! Really excited though about tomorrow...
