Good evening all.  Well, we headed out for what I thought was just going to be lunch.  We dropped Gregory&#39;s cell phone charger off that he had left here because he said he needed it, then had lunch.  Afterwards, Greg headed south on Wadsworth from Westminster.  Now, I know most of you have no idea where I am talking about, but Kevin might.  We took that road all the way to where it ends at Lockheed Martin, probably 35-40 miles.  Then we turned off and went to Roxborough State Park and had a nice little nature walk.  Then we swung over and took Highway 85 until it turned into Sante Fe and made a stop at Aspen Grove Mall and did some Christmas shopping.  Stopped at WalMart ont he way home and got groceries and I have spent the last 3 hours cooking for Gregory&#39;s birthday dinner tomorrow.  It isn&#39;t really a cohesive menu, but it is his favorites.  I made the potato casserole, broccoli and rice casserole, deviled eggs, have the fresh green beans cooking right now and I am getting ready to get up and start putting together the swiss steak.  There will also be corn on the cob, grandma&#39;s noodles, shrimp cocktail, mozerella cheese sticks w/ marinara, hot rolls and french silk pie.  I told you it wasn&#39;t a &quot;normal&quot; menu but it is all about him&#33;&#33;&#33; <br /><br />Ed - loved the new pics.  I was going to ask if the first one was your patio - looks so relaxing, but I certainly hope the other pic wasn&#39;t&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Kevin, I heard that Breckenridge got a few inches this week, must of melted off.  Do you take I-70 up there or 285?  285 is such a pretty drive.  Are any of the runs up there open yet?<br /><br />Deb, everyone is plying you with alcohol.  One would almost think they were trying to get you drunk&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Sure, welcome home.  Glad you had a good trip.  I am sure that Pappy was very happy to see his &quot;mama&quot;...<br /><br />Joey, too bad that David can&#39;t take his birthday off but it is good that you can make the trip to spend it with him.  How far of a drive is it for you?<br /><br />Falina, hope you got your computer issues worked out.  I am so tech illiterate - I have to have hubby do all that kind of stuff for me.<br /><br />Rose, are you working on any home improvements project this weekend?  I will start back on the bathroom come Monday.<br /><br />Well, guess I had better get back to my cooking.  Talk to you guys in a bit....<br /><br /><br />
