Falina, that is absolutely one of my favorite meals.  I have to make homemade chili as hubby does not like canned, and then I put a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and &quot;fry&quot; the Oscar Meyers.  Some spicy mustar, finely diced onions and cheese added to it and it is a gourmet delight&#33;&#33;&#33;  It has been spitting snow all day here too - thanks to Kevin, who brought it down from the mountains with him&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Thanks Joey, did you happen to notice in the pics of St. Elmo&#39;s, that the sidewalk was actually made out of wood, just like in the old westerns you see on tv.  As for Cripple Creek - we have 3 gambling towns here in Colorado that are pretty much nothing but casinos.  Cripple Creek si one of them.  The others are Black Hawk and Central City.  All 3 are old mining towns.<br /><br />Ed, hope you fare okay without Roe.  I would be fearful of what Greg would eat if I was gone.  Actually, he moved here to Colorado 2 months before the boys and I came.  He was starting work on April 1 and the boys got out of school May 15th and we didn&#39;t want to change schools for them with only 6 weeks to go - plus they were in Little League baseball.  The company he works for owns several condo&#39;s that are completely furnished with everything (dishes, linens, etc.) and he was staying in one of those until we got here.  He doesn&#39;t know how to cook so he grilled hamburgers almost every night.<br /><br />Jackie, good luck on your first day back to work tomorrow.  I will miss you - I remember last year hat you weren&#39;t able to post nearly as much.<br /><br />Great pics Deb.  I love both of those places - everytime we have gone to Cripple Creek, we take the long way around so we can go down Phantom Canyon Road.  Not a drive for a car as it is extremely rough, but is a gorgeous drive.  We haven&#39;t been into Rocky Mountain National Park this past year, but have been to Estes park a few times.  We love to drive up there and walk around all the little shops and it only takes us about 45 minutes to get there from home.<br /><br />Hello to Jenn, Kevin, Steve, Chris, Martha, Tuesday, Mary Lou, Sue, Gail, Andrea, and anyone else I missed...<br /><br /><br /><br />
