Bear & Troy

Valentine's Day double-date dinner in LoHi with Lonnie & Levi. Fine mexican dining at My Neighbor Felix,

At Hidden Valley rock formations in Joshua Tree National Park, 17 years ago today.

On Saturday, Troy got a lemon cake in return for his own sweetness.

The three stooges....
We now have barrels for every kind of waste. Most of Denver had already received their compost barrel (green) but we live on the poor side of town, so ours was just delivered today. Proud to say the smallest one is for landfill waste.

Early dinner with Frank & Mike at King of Wings in Wheat Ridge.

Next week, nagging plumbing issues will get resolved. And sometime soon an electrician will visit to do outlet and wiring work, plus give us advice on the logistics and cost of moving our wall oven. Other ideas are down the pike, but we're moving right along.

Home improvements galore.
Today is the second step toward our 2025 renovations. On Saturday, we contracted for new bathroom windows on both floors (which will cost an arm and a leg). Today we have a repairman coming to fix our 30-year-old gas cooktop. If it can't be fixed, we'll move to induction.

Bear tried out a new crockpot dish — chicken paprika in a sour cream sauce with mushrooms & onions. Edamame on the side. Troy approved!

🍒 5 years ago our Super Bowl pre-game show consisted of pruning the cherry trees before a snowstorm arrived.

10 years ago it was a great day to try out a new local hang (now sadly gone). We ordered 3 small deep-dish pizze so we could sample the goods liberally and still bring home a couple of pieces to snack on later. The bar had a decent variety of craft beers on tap too.

A pit pot of Colorado Red.
Good for a January night – or any other time!

Welcoming Nathan & David to our 9th annual pilgrimage to Big Choice Brewing for the holiday Peppermint Stout (also sandwiches, salads and pizze!) The quest yielded the seasonal brew in pint glasses rimmed with crushed candy cane and served with peppermint patties.

The tree is up.
The lights are all working.
Let's decorate it!

We began unpacking and untangling the outdoor Christmas décor, bringing it from the garage storage shelves to the front porch and iron gates.

We were able to post a video over 60 seconds long on Facebook (one of its few virtues) but we can't here, so those of you on FB wishing to see our Thanksgiving adventure, it's on the "Bear & Troy" page at that platform.

Troy is only happy when he's working in our gardens or watching TV. Autumn gives him opportunities to do both to his heart's content, and our cherry trees are smiling now. No, he's not for hire.

🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!
