Sunday, we felt the need to get out of town.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Colorado, Denver lies just East of the Rocky Mountains, so we went for a family drive to the mountains. Rog is a big fan of “lets just drive”…but I’d rather have a plan, so we “just drove” and ended up after driving through some lovely scenery:
(Gorgeous to have that so close to us).
Anyway, we stopped in a cute, very small town called Nederland (both Rog and I think the town sounds like something Dr. Evil would say) for lunch:
We had a great time. We ate in a very small town bar/pub with very good food. However in order to get it we sat and sat and sat. It turned out that the printer quit working and they had lost our order.
They bought our first round of drinks and except for some mildly bored kids (Matey Moo ate a HEAP of french fries -more on this later) we had a wonderful time taking in the crazy clientel. If you’ve ever lived in a small town and been to the most popular pub, I’m sure you could picture the scene.
Anyway, we decided to head home. First Missy C proclaimed that she had a nasty feeling tummy and so we pulled over to give her some fresh air.
Then Matey Moo fell asleep. Just as we pulled into town (fairly close to home) he woke up and proceeded to throw up all over. So, we rushed home and threw them into the tub
(not for the faint of heart – although the kids look cute and exhausted…I’m sure a few of you will relate):
I managed to finish embellishing the lappy bag – I think for now I’ll leave it a “work in progress” and keep adding to the embellishment, but I will post some photos tomorrow.
Also, in sad news, my good friend Antonia who I stitch with every few weeks (she’s in the top of the bottom photo) is in the hospital. Please sent good thoughts her way.
