We're in Colorado, visiting the family and enjoying grand child hijinks. Five days until Christmas and spirits are high. The weather is colder than what we are used to, the altitude higher. The house is warm and cozy and it's easy to doze off on the couch.
Great to be away from the Big House for a bit. Our dining room manager has left for another job, and the head chef is gone now as well. That explains a couple of truly lousy meals we had there recently: crepes that were more like mushroom enchiladas covered in a heavy creamy goo, and a chicken sope that came on flat bread instead of a tortilla (complete with dried out chicken). I do hate to complain, but jaysus. This is not the level of food excellence I expect in a place like this. Yes, well, ahem. We are enjoying the change and delighting in the little ones and their stellar parents.
Time passes quickly, and before you know it, these kids will be graduating high school. And I'll be an even older lady. Hopefully not irrelevant in their lives. Projecting waaayyy into the future, I may even get to experience being a great grandmother. Wow. It could happen.
I'm not likely to post again until the New Year, so, dear Reader, I wish you a splendid holiday and a very happy and healthy 2019!
Enjoy your visit there in the land of the Rockies, blue skies, cold temps, and high altitude. It's so beautiful. Send our love to the family and have a wonderful celebratory Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI know you will enjoy the fun and fellowship with family. Not to mention some good food (finally).
