41-50 around the corner! 12/28


Good People--my bride of 41 years.
Good Food--we researched our many resources--5280 magazine, the web, a Gabby Gourmet diners guide and others to find Locanda Del Borgo. A neighborhood Italian place at Holly and 3rd. We will be taking lots of people there in 2009. Hot bread with olives, tomatoes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Their bruschetta was the best thing on the menu (heads up wine and appetizers people -you know who you are). Jan had veal picatta and I had their pork chop--pork chop was outstanding but the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts were so-so. Same for Jan the veal was very good but the roasted potatoes and green beans were OK. We received a "cream sauce" covered with a strawberry jam like sauce for our anniversary and it was soooooooooooooooo good--see pic and use your imagination.
Good Exercise--we walked around Cherry Creek mall for a couple of hours, fought the crowd and bought some olive oil.
Great Retirement--39 years of work, almost 2 years of retirement all with my favorite person.
