Drink of the Day
This episode’s Drink of the Day was puzzling. New to both of us, Cheerwine tasted like something we’ve had before but we just couldn’t quite figure it out. Have you tried it? What did you think?

Guest Spotlight
The National Cherry Tree Festival is held over four weeks with more than 50 events. While Ren may be entering the Kite Festival with an illegal fishing pole, there is plenty to do for everyone. The Pink Tie Party, Petal Palooza, the Parade and more, make this festival a destination every year.

You can check out more information about the National Cherry Blossom Festival on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Thanks for joining us Nora, we will see you in a few weeks at the Festival!
