Good grief it has been almost a week since I last took the time to update. Not sure where to begin… we got to Denver and the snow was deep, then melted then deep again and when that was gone we took a little drive Sunday through Morrison and Evergreen on the back roads… nice day out. We stopped in Evergreen for lunch… place called Beau Jo’s… nice place on the stream but not exactly warm outside, although some were trying the outside seating. Lunch was good… I had a sandwich and they had a pizza that they say the crust has honey in it (Colorado Style with lots of toppings)… ?
The sandwich was good but a bit dry, needed a bit more mayo or ? bread was real good…
The pizza was probably better…
When I looked this place up it is a Colorado chain or sorts… worth trying out…
I also came across a very very large liquor store in my rounding in Lakewood-Littleton.
and it is appropriately named “Tipsy’s”… I think there is a pickles restaurant on the left side?
So then on Tuesday we left reasonably early… for retired folks that is about 9am… when GS#1 was headed off to school. came down bypassing some accidents on I-25 so took 85 south… driving, I don’t get many pictures so nothing to tell… got to “The Springs” in time to get one to the Dentist for a grind and seal job… cracked tooth – ouch. I have had two of those and neither was fun. the rest of use wen to lunch at Panara…not near as good a sandwich and over priced but some like it. The soup was pretty good anyway…
Well as you can see on the 21st and up to the 25th it was mostly nice and warm and dry… then poof we got hit again moving in on the 26th… looked like this
Snow showers on the mountains then it moved further and further down …
On Wednesday we took GS#3 to get his fireman’s hat like the other two early in the week… he wouldn’t model it like the others do… you can almost make out he is saying “no”… oh well…
Thursday we went to Florence , got a big lunch of green chili, visited with Sis and one of her kids for a while then made a stop at the Canon yarn shop and home as the snow was coming down… but it was nothing compared to today..
of and on heavy snow and maybe a foot or more here today… warm enough that it is melting good off the roads so they were mostly just wet or slushy… we did get out in it… why not?
Out quest was to make the Black Forest Art and craft show at the community center… I went prepared to get pictures of GS#3 and all the stuff and I did get a couple before I got in trouble as they do not allow pictures of their SUPER SECRET ARTS… looked just like the same stuff you see all over to me? Was a few nicer Art things mixed in but 90% was crafts you see everywhere but hey it is a secret design they use? Then when I checked out their Facebook page, hell all the pictures I would have taken are there… so you can see those top secret crafts for your self by checking the link… although I do have a couple..
Outside the building these whirly things were mounted… in the snow…
Inside GS#3 and pops are eying some thing that MawMaw is fumbling with… we did support their cause a little bit… came out with over $50 worth of “STUFF”.
Got home after lunch and driving around town finding that a wood shop was closed… and crashed out most of the rest of the afternoon… See we are doing such exciting things and watching it snow more than we have seen in 10 years all in 2 weeks…
