Crazy Day
Well, the original alarm was set for 5:30...snoozed until 5:55...not surprising!

Crazy fog this morning covering The Rock.

By the evening, it had cleared out and the sun was shining. Enjoyed a beer from Firestone Walker for National Beer Day!

Bailey & Birthday
Four years ago today we had to say goodbye. He was our first and last dog...still remember the night we picked him out of the liter like it was yesterday. And still miss him like it was yesterday. He loved the snow!

On a happier note...have to wish Dave a "Happy Birthday!"

Family Dinner
Made our way to the Kenyon's house tonight...Mexican inspired dinner...forgot the name of the "feature chef." Oh well...it was YUMMY!! Plus we got to see three fabulous little men!

Deck the Halls
Well, today is the day...out with fall, in with winter. Yes, I know that the official start date is still two weeks away, but the decorations have come out. The weather was beautiful so we got all of the outdoor lights hung. Found a "fall treasure" to enjoy while I was working.

We were finally able to get everything inside back to its place and cleaned after all of our flooring work, so most of those decorations will come out tomorrow.

And finally, who can resist a photo of a cute cat...I guess we know who runs this house!

Grounded
Was supposed to be headed up in a Bell 407 this morning over downtown Denver, but the fog and snow kept the helicopter on the ground. I'm hopeful that we will get to reschedule the flight for next week.

The snowy afternoon was a perfect time to finally enjoy the New Belgium "Salted Belgian Chocolate Stout." It was okay...nothing to rave about.

Fall Golf & Family
The weather continues to be perfect for more fall golf...love it!! This might be the last weekend of skort weather though. :(

We hosted family dinner this month. Being so close to Halloween and sticking with our International theme, I went with Transylvania - Romanian Cuisine. As you can see from the photo, we had a great time!

New Find
As I've been experimenting with different beers this season, I came across this interesting flavor tonight. I love Rumchata so I had to give it a try. It ended up being pretty good!

ThAC
Tried to get together with some gals from work. Just a couple of us, but it was a great night at Parry's Pizza! I did enjoy some very yummy Southern Tier Pumkining Beer!

The first batch of tile is getting laid. It's going to be a long process, but will be worth it.

Lots of Golf
With the temperature under 40 degrees, we teed it up at Common Grounds for the final tournament in 99.5 The Mountain's golf tour. We scrambled, came up a little short, but had a great time. We had to stick with our 3 & 3 beer combo, but the course didn't have coolers on the cart...hence the plastic bag with ice...real classy! ;)

After getting back into Castle Rock, Ally and I decided to jump on here at Red Hawk for another 18. Glad I did...shot a 76!! The weather and fall colors were beautiful!

Oktoberfest
Back at The Ridge today for beer, brats and golf. We were so hopeful that this year would be better than last year. Well, we got our wish for a small amount of time...then the crap rolled in! Staying warm today required multiple layers. Needed a good jacket with thumb-holes to keep down my sleeves...maybe my next jacket purchase.

Fall Golf
We had beautiful weather for golf today. 

My sister mentioned that Firestone Walker was at the GABF...I didn't have a ticket, so decided to enjoy one of their brews at home.

Lakeside
You can always always trust a beer tastes better when you are drinking next to a mountain lake while camping

Veggies...Finally!
I finally got something from my Earthboxes in the backyard. I'm ready to make some zucchini bread, jalapeno poppers and spicy margaritas! As for the tomatoes...not sure yet. They might be the only ones I get if they don't start looking better.

Enjoyed a mix of White Rascal & Hard Cider this afternoon...love summer cocktails and taking a break from the usual!

Restaurant Week has Come to an End
Our final restaurant was Jing in DTC, another new place for us. See the seafood options I was very excited. Enjoyed the Crispy Tuna Roll, but was disappointed in the Parisian Prawns. The final sweet of the week was Toffee Chocolate Mousse Cake...not too bad, but would have been better with some caramel. :)











I did have to post my "Wendy" pic today as well. Panera lunch wasn't anything exciting, so I chose her drink from our "after-training" refreshments.

Homebrew

We moved the newest batch of homebrew, a batch of Witbier, to the smaller carboy for its second fermintation. It should be ready for bottling in another week.
