Eleven Twenty-Five Ninety-Two

11-25-92

 

The day we were married.

 

21 years of committed friendship, love & laughter.

 

Our first anniversary in our new home state, Colorado.  We are celebrating in 3 parts:

 

Last nite, we visited Boulder to watch the lighting of Pearl Street.  There were carolers.  We were all awaiting Santa (& his Mrs.) to flip the switch.  It was worth the chilly wait, the magic happened when the trees all around us and the front of the county building came to life!  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

 

We decided to find a place for our dinner & early celebratory beverages.  We passed thru the door and entered another world...well, country!  The Bohemian Biergarten ~ Perfect choice!  This German brewpub on 13th, just north of Pearl Street, which opened this year, is filled with communal wooden tables & benches and live music, with servers dressed in true German-style.  I decided on a draught hefeweizen (of course) and Chris, a cider.  We ordered a big pretzel for an appetizer and enjoyed it with a couple mustards, the House & the Heaven!  Chris ordered the Reuben sandwich with fries and I, the pork loin with potato pancakes ~~ both excellent choices!

 

What a thoroughly enjoyable evening!  I am glad we went the way of trying some place new!!  We will return!  It reminded both of us of Cabaret!!

 

Today, we will have a quiet evening at home.  I am making a cranberry pork roast in the slow cooker.  We'll enjoy dark chocolate & caramel almonds, coconut chocolate cookies and some decaf for dessert (while watching Two Broke Girls). 

 

Part 3 of our celebration will be this Friday, here in downtown Longmont, watching the lighting of the Christmas tree...while staying warm sipping Ziggi's coffee and eating our first Winchell's donut! 

 

Our usual anniversary outing is to Chicago, which is clearly impossible, but we are making the most of it by stretching it out and trying new things!! 

 

Trying new things...the theme of our 2013!

 

Happy Anniversary, Wolfie!  Where has the time gone?  We have had an interesting go of things, thus far, and I look forward to having as much or more for the next several decades! 

 

Be ready!

And don't forget to grab the snack bag!
