 This Colorado weather is kind of confusing.  Today it is cool and cloudy, with a bit of a breeze.  It isn’t cold enough snow, but it feels as if it might like to try.

We lived in Southern Colorado for 11 years...elevation 7200 feet...and I don’t remember weather quite like this.  Maybe I was too busy with four children to pay any attention to the outdoors.

David came at noon, but the weather wasn’t conducive for walking.  We worked on strengthening exercises.  He was amazed at how much strength I am getting.  Lindsey came for a short visit.  I won’t have these services after we get “back out on the road.”

This afternoon, at 5:00, Bill and I went to a “practice run” for the new restaurant where Meredith and Joshua will be working.  There were about 30 diners there.  We could order anything we wanted.

"Origins" is a completely new restaurant in the
old downtown area of Loveland.  It has been
decorated very tastefully.

 These colorful peppers stuffed with cream cheese were sent to each table, complements of the chef.  They were really good.

The pizza oven, shipped from Italy, is wood fired.  The interior is at 900° and will cook a small pizza in 90 seconds.  It was amazing to see.  They feature eight different pizzas.  This style pizza originated in Naples, Italy

 We ordered a cheese and meat board, featuring items from France.  There were "boards" from Mexico and the U.S.
