The last few evenings in Greensboro have been very nice. As the sun goes down, the warm days turn to cool blanket weather. The above photo, a reflection in the window of Elm Street’s newest business, the Creamery, reflects the mood of First Friday. People of all ages and from all walks of life were downtown enjoying the evening. Gallery hopping, shopping, eating a little ice cream, listening to music, and attending a great presentation on the dialects of North Carolina, made downtown Greensboro a wonderful place to be last night.

Before watching the Kentucky Derby, today, from 1-4:30, we’ll be attending Greensboro’s “El Día de los Niños, El Día de los Libros” event. This event will be a great way to kick off the “Cinco de Mayo” weekend. There is so much to be thankful for this weekend, we have to pinch ourselves to really believe we are here. We are sharing this with our friends at Weekend Reflections and hope that they are enjoying the reflective weekend, too!
