goings on

Wow...I'm really bad about the regular updates. Actually I told Bernie I was not going to update until he contributed, but here I am.

Things have been busy lately with the visitors we've had. My dad was here for a week and we are currently entertaining my mother. Needless to say, she is the more exciting of the two. We have been doing plenty of shopping and also toured Anheuser-Busch yesterday in Ft. Collins. Today we ate too much Mexican food and shopped in Boulder. Tomorrow it is on to Denver for the tall shop search. She wanted to buy me fancy salt and pepper grinders today at one store, to which I reminded her that the only time I could tell the difference between regular salt and kosher salt was on my margarita glass, and I can buy that already made. She has been doing her normal thing, making friends wherever she lands. I dropped her off in Greeley (per her request) yesterday. She wandered around and succeeded in making three friends, including a Mexican couple who told her to contact them anytime she needed anything in the future. Where did I miss that gene?

I also bought a new computer yesterday...a Macbook pro. The new OS comes out next week and I get to update for only $9.95. For those of you who have been closet Mac fans all along, the time has come to switch. The new OS will run Leopard and Windows.

Plans are in the works for a trip to Great Falls over Thanksgiving, pending Bernie getting the time off.
