A little bit of this, a little bit of that

And time is going by way too fast. We have 4 weeks minus a day before we pack up and head, not home, but Virginia. Christmas is headquartered at Tiffany's - having two little ones is definitely the trump card. So we all come their way, of course Heather and Jay too.

Tony's Texas Barbecue

Mojito at Fernandez the Bull

More Fernandez the Bull - notice the Cuba poster

The glory of endless eating choices continues. Since we've been here gone to: Tony's Texas Barbecue, Sushi Thai (3 times), Nemo's ( 1 time Mark, 2 for me), Fernandez the Bull (2 times), Randy's Seafood (1 time and with Star Mt. neighbors John and Sandy!), Stir Crazy, AZN, Escargot 41 (1 time, and more to come I don't know - see write up in previous post- Nov. 8), O'mei (a lunch to check out whether it was worth coming back to have their "famous" traditional Peking duck - and yes, we'll go back to try it), and The Sauce Lady (which is not really a restaurant, but to go homemade Italian food - yum).

 Finally got a round of golf in with Mark. First in a year! I enjoyed, remembering only the good shots of course, and Mark fine tuned his game for the big Maryland guy golf trip happening in Naples in a couple weeks. We may continue the golf theme and walk across the road to Tiburon where the LPGA is playing this weekend. Fun it's so close.

We were touched by the crazy winter storm up north, the cold fingers reached down and dropped us to a record 45 low. I know, I know there's no crying for us....

My art class started this week with my friend Patty. She's a fabulous instructor and group a great one and most are repeats. She does have quite a following. If only I could figure out a way to clone her in the Gunnison valley...

Sunrise

My early morning walks can be peaceful, or dodging the ever working landscape crews and all the other people diligently doing their jogging, solitary walking, walking the dog, bicycling, bicycling  with equipment to the tennis courts. Only seen one person on roller blades this year. I think it's fallen out of fashion.

 The crews just finished planting the winter flowers, not a task for the faint hearted, there are literally thousands and thousands of flowers decorating every corner. Our community is 2,000 acres and 3,000 houses- that's a lot of corners...

Mark has been traveling part of each week to Indy on business, trying not to let it interfere in the fun and relaxation. He's trekking out early next week again back the day before Thanksgiving. We then fly to DC for our family Thanksgiving. Should be fun and a little harried I think. I'll be posting after the event so Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
