Dinner and a Party!

Marsh surprised me as we were out for our anniversary dinner Friday night at the Flagstaff (in Boulder) with a new camera phone ......now I can talk AND take pictures whenever --what a beautiful combination!! We had an issue, however, figuring out exactly HOW to take the pictures as the phone can also take video. Our waitress was extremely patient and sweet as we made multiple attempts to figure out the correct process. It did, quite honestly, become a little tiresome as you can see.


okay, sweetie .....take the picture now.......



my handsome husband

Of course, as soon as we got home, I pulled out the manual and the whole process was actually very simple ....we just didn't quite have the right technique and/or steps down yet ....oh well, as "Kip" would say: I love technology .....but not as much as you, you see ....... (Napoleon Dynamite fans will know what I mean here :) ....We had an unbelievable five course tasting dinner that included salmon carpaccio, halibut, rabbit, and venison (main course). Dessert was a lemon torte, but we substituted one of our desserts for a hot chocolate Verona cake so we could try both. Marsh managed to finish off the lemon torte while I was consumed with figuring out the technicalities of the new camera phone. I did, however, get a picture of it before he devoured it.

I'm sure it was tasty .....thanks for sharing, honey......

It was a memorable evening, nevertheless, and quite honestly I was stuffed without having had another taste of the fabulous lemon torte. Afterwards, we drove around some of the neighborhoods near Chautauqua and admired the varied architecture of the beautiful homes ....one was for sale and we thought we would take bets on the price. This neighborhood is significantly higher than many other Boulder neighborhoods ....but it's good to know that you can get a 5 bedroom for $2.5 mil. ....not too shabby ......

Above Boulder ....city lights at night

Saturday we were invited to dinner and a party with the neighbors ....it was a blast! ...I have a slide show of the photos above my blog archive, so check it out folks. Some of the pictures turned out better than others as we had the lights out and candles lit in observation of the "global lights off" initiative last night ....anyway, all I can say is Tracy is a wild, wild woman!!
