2014 Broncos Game …ahem, Book Club Tea!

Escaping (most of) the orange that flooded downtown Denver, we Radically relaxed at a corner table with a Royal tea. While we missed a few items (what did you think of Gone Girl? What was your first favorite book? Comment below!), we did manage to squeeze in the important items:
  1. Amy made it - and shared her pick before leaving for P!nk
  2. 2014 dates and book selections 
  3. Seven interpretations of the bill
  4. A worth-every-penny champagne toast, followed by sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream, and sweet delights all washed down with tea. 
  5. A Broncos WIN!
