We are off to see our son and daughter-in-law in Colorado (Jim and Sally) for the Christmas Holiday. Although we talk to each other on the phone, it has been a year since we have last met in person. The time together is precious.
After a flight to Denver and drive to Colorado Springs we meet with hugs and start our time together with dinner at the Black Bear Restaurant.
Friday mid-morning we join up and head off to buy "provisions" for the long weekend. First up is Andy's Butcher Shop. Jim and Sally spied the shop when driving in the area, but have never been inside. It turns out to be a great place. We buy ribeye steaks, ground beef, breakfast sausage, thick cut bacon and wood chips.

Our next stop is Luna Market. This is a Mexican food and fruit market. We pick up a few items, including home made chicharone (deep fried pork skins) for snacking.
After lunch at Rocky Mountain Brewery we round out our groceries at Safeway and then pick up some beverages at a local liquor store. It's been fun checking out some local businesses and making up our menu plans as we go along. Friday evening's dinner begins to make a dent the provisions.
